"New equipment in our research lab:

      We have added a Tucsen 5.0 MP Color CMOS Camera (2560x1920 pixels) to our trinocular KYOWA microscope connected to a laptop computer which is also used with our Ocean Optics spectrometers.

 

       The new Tucsen Tsview software provides a user­friendly platform to control the camera, view and edit images(including fluorescence analysis).

 

       The software also allows real­time sharing of images over the Internet. C.I.G. students taking course # 150 Gem Identification I can now be assisted through MSN Messenger or SKYPE in their course work."

 

首先介绍下我们的实验室中的新设备：

 

     我们使用Tucsen 500万像素彩色CMOS KYOWA三目显微镜连接到一台笔记本电脑，同时也使用我们的海洋光学光谱仪用于相机（2560X1920像素）。

新Tucsen相机配套软件 Tsview提供了更友好的交互操作平台，直接控制摄像头，查看和编辑图像（包括荧光分析法）。

     同时这款软件还允许在互联网上的实时共享图像，我现在可以通过MSN Messenger或Skype在线教学，150＃宝石鉴定课程。

 

      Our Ocean Optics USB2000+UV­VIS Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer using two different light sources:

 

      The USB2000 couples a low­cost, high­performance 2048­element linear CCD­array detector with an optical bench that's small enough to fit into the palm of your hand ­­ the same detector and optical bench that have provided superior performance to the users of our 15,000 systems out in the field.

 

      The USB2000 also works the same way as other Ocean Optics spectrometers in that it accepts light energy transmitted through single­strand optical fiber and disperses it via a fixed grating across the linear CCD array detector, which is responsive from 200­850 nm.

 

     Purchase price is US$ 3,061 and $ 253 for the optical fiber assemblies.

       The LS­1 Tungsten Halogen Light Source is a versatile white­light source optimized for the VIS­NIR (360­2500 nm). The lamp offers high color temperature, highly efficient output and long life in a compact, economical package. Purchase price is US$ 577.

 

      The DT­MINI Deuterium Tungsten Halogen Light Sources combine the continuous spectrum of an RF­excited deuterium UV light source and a tungsten halogen VIS­NIR light source in a single optical path. The combined­spectrum sources produce stable spectral output from ~200­2000 nm in a compact package. Purchase price is US$ 1,732.
