Miniature spectrometers

The Exemplar LS and Exemplar Plus miniature spectrometers from B&W Tek are designed with a low-stray-light "unfolded" Czerny-Turner spectrograph. The LS reportedly is suitable for integration into compact UV or UV–vis spectrophotometer systems. According to the company, the Plus has a thermoelectric-cooled back-thinned CCD detector with 2048 effective pixels. B&W Tek, Newark, DE;

FACSS 2026 Award Interviews © Erin -chronicles-stock.adobe.com
SciX 2026 Award Winners: The Conversations Coming Next
Eight FACSS award winners at SciX 2026, One LIBS trailblazer. Forty-eight questions. And not one of them is a softball. Award season in spectroscopy usually means polite applause, a plaque, and a photo. We're not completely interested only in the award sessions. The eight scientists honored at SciX 2026 in Sparks, Nevada, along with LIBS researcher Alessandro De Giacomo, are pushing Raman into operating rooms, flying LIBS on drones, reading chemistry off Mars, and tracing toxic metals downwind of industrial sites. Their work makes big claims. In the coming days, Spectroscopy will sit down with eight of these researchers and ask whether those claims hold up. The interviews that follow won't just celebrate. They'll press on the gaps between simulation and experiment, between the lab bench and the clinic, and between a clever paper and an instrument someone will actually buy and use.

Spectral Frontiers: Past the Diffraction Limit (FT-IR Spectroscopy)
Past the Diffraction Limit: How Photothermal and Quantum Cascade Lasers Are Reinventing FT-IR Spectroscopy
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, long the workhorse of molecular fingerprinting, is being reinvented by photothermal detection schemes and quantum cascade laser (QCL) sources that push spatial resolution and analysis speed far beyond classical dispersive and interferometric limits. New instrumentation such as optical photothermal infrared (O-PTIR) microscopy and laser direct infrared (LDIR) chemical imaging is enabling sub-micron, label-free chemical mapping of biological, environmental, and pharmaceutical samples. This article reviews the latest FT-IR-adjacent technologies, recent patents, and research driving the field, featuring perspectives from the scientists and instrument developers advancing the technique.
