#spectrometers — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116372690994064172

There wasn’t much point in adding #spectrometers or other types of instruments to the #Artemis II crew’s toolkit. They were simply too far away to make any unique spectral measurements not already available in #NASA’s archive.

ESA's #EnVision mission is set to launch in 2031, heading for #Venus. The goal is to learn more about the planet's #geology, its possible current #activity, and its interactions with the #atmosphere.

To this end, the probe will carry several imaging #spectrometers covering wavelength ranges from UV to infrared. A first #spectrum of the optical prototype has just been obtained. The Preliminary Design Review is underway...

Virtually Imaged Phased Arrays (#VIPAs) are contributing to #Brillouin #microscopy, enabling a deeper understanding of biological tissue mechanics. Brillouin microscopy analyzes the inelastic #scattering of light, offering insights into mechanical properties. VIPAs play a crucial role in the #spectrometers used for this technique, helping to precisely measure the subtle frequency shifts that occur.

I’m the kind of #physics person who likes to build #ScientificInstruments, lately #benchtopNMR #spectrometers for #chemistry. I need lots of #tools to do my thing. This is my #Hardinge HLV-H #lathe, just after I finished a renovation in 2017. It was made in 1968 in Elmira, New York. In that era in the US, there were two competing high-precision “tool room” lathes, this one and the Monarch 10EE.
