X-ray microanalysis system The Genesis Apex X-ray microanalysis system from EDAX includes the company's Apollo silicon drift detector and a digital pulse
processor designed to provide a clean spectrum and processing times of greater than 1,000,000 cps. The system also includes
the company's Expert ID software for element identification. EDAX, Inc., Mahwah, NJ; http://www.edax.com/
Fluorescence measurement system Hitachi's Quantum Yield measurement system for the company's model F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer is designed for fast
measurements and calculations of internal and external QY, absorption, absorption amount, and fluorescent amount of powder
samples. The system includes the accessories required for spectral correction and quantum yield measurements in the range
of 240–800 nm. Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc., Pleasanton, CA; http://www.hitachi-hta.com/
Laser delivery assemblies High Power Laser Delivery assemblies from Fiberguide include a custom-designed high-power SMA connector that uses an air gap
feature to eliminate energy-absorbing materials at fiber end. The assemblies' cantilevered fiber end reportedly accepts high
power levels that typically destroy traditional fiber termination. A heat sink conducts generated heat away from the fiber.
