Sample Measurement and Analysis

Equipment in this class carries out specific measurements and analysis techniques on samples and specimens. The differentiating characteristic of equipment in this class, compared to the Materials Characterization class, is that it is a complete or whole sample or specimen that is used.

AUTO-MONTAGE 3D SYSTEM

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical

The software is designed to overcome the problems traditionally associated with the inadequate depth of field for imaging 3-dimensional specimens, by allowing a composite, perfectly focused image to be produced. This is achieved by combining the focused parts from a series of images focused at different heights on the specimen to form an in-focus composite.

Automated Film Thickness

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical
  • Component Characterization

An automated dry film thickness measurement station has been developed by NDSU to measure the thickness of coatings deposited onto our array panels. The system is outfitted with a Fischerscope MMSTM system with measurement probes for both aluminum and steel substrates. The thickness data is automatically up loaded to a central database and is accessible through a web portal. This system is valuable in the long-term study of self-polishing ablative coatings since the same measurement points can be consistently read from day to day and month to month.

AutoScope Camera System

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical
  • High Resolution Imaging

The AIS-IV Camera™ is a high-resolution video traffic camera for the Autoscope machine vision processors; Autoscope RackVision Terra and Autoscope RackVision Pro 2. The AIS Camera has a built-in zoom lens and color imager with high sensitivity to ensure accurate vehicle detection at night. It minimizes streaking and blooming from bright light sources that could adversely affect detection performance.

Axioskop 2 Research Microscope

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical
  • High Resolution Imaging

The Axioscop 2 research microscope from Zeiss uses the short path length of its designed epicondenser to give brighter fluorescence and hence greater sensitivity. The high-resolution optics with good clarity enhance the information presented on slides and contribute further to the brightness, whilst the quick and easy switchover between brightfield and fluorescence gives greater convenience and faster screening. Space is provided for a broad range of filter systems for multi- labelling, transmission from UV to near IR and the flexibility to use new fluorochromes as they become available.

AXON GENEPIX ARRAY SCANNER

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical
  • High Resolution Imaging

The GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner acquires data at a selected resolution between 5-100 microns, allowing the adjustment of image resolution and file size for each Cy3/Cy5 experiment. It has expanded sample compatibility, with user-adjustable focus offset and laser power settings, allowing for proper imaging of slides with either a raised surface, as with membrane-coated glass, or a recessed surface, as in embedded arrays.
