Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Thousand Oaks, California) and Roper Technologies, Inc. (Sarasota, Florida) have entered into an agreement under which Teledyne will acquire the scientific imaging businesses of Roper for $225 million in cash. Included in Roper’s scientific imaging businesses are Princeton Instruments, Photometrics, and Lumenera, as well as other brands.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne Robert Mehrabian said in a statement that the scientific imaging businesses have similar capabilities and are highly complementary to Teledyne’s products and markets. “Princeton Instruments and Photometrics will provide Teledyne new products serving life sciences customers and markets, while Teledyne will offer Lumenera greater opportunities in the industrial domain,” he said.
Neil Hunn, Roper’s president and chief executive officer, expressed thanks for the contributions that the businesses have made to Roper and wished them continued success.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
