Benchtop Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometers are compact, cost-effective, and user-friendly, making them ideal for labs with limited space or budgets. They provide reliable performance for analyzing free radicals, transition metals, and defects, with lower maintenance needs and simplified operation compared to traditional EPR systems. Several professional manufacturers in the United States offer benchtop EPR spectrometers. We have information here for researchers interested in purchasing one. Bruker Corporation: Bruker offers a range of Benchtop EPR instruments, including the EMXnano and EMXmicro series. Their instruments are known for their high sensitivity and versatility, allowing for a wide range of applications. CIQTEK: CIQTEK benchtop EPR spectrometers are…

Humans rely on their senses to perceive the world, and these microscopic analysis instruments extend human perception. We are all familiar with optical microscopes, but these microscopes, which work based on lens imaging, are limited by the Abbe limit, where the resolution is limited to half the wavelength of the light used. Therefore, the resolution of optical microscopes is only at the micrometer level due to the limitation of the wavelength of light. However, fast-moving electrons have wave-particle duality, and as a wave, an important characteristic of electrons is their wavelength. With increasing acceleration voltage, the electron wavelength decreases. By…

The principle of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) involves the emission of an electron beam from an electron gun, which is accelerated by an electric field.  The electron beam scans the specimen surface line by line, exciting the specimen to produce various physical signals. These signals are collected by detectors and converted into video signals in sequential and proportional order. By detecting a specific signal, amplifying the video signal, and signal processing, a scanning image reflecting the surface features of the specimen is obtained on the display screen. Common Issues: 1. Does the magnetic nature of a specimen affect SEM testing? a. Magnetic Field Interference: The electron beam in SEM is focused by electromagnetic lenses. Magnetic…

With the widespread use of gamma rays in industries, agriculture, medicine, and food, accurate measurement of radiation dose has become increasingly important. EPR Spectrometer is currently the only direct method to detect unpaired electrons in a sample, allowing for the precise measurement of radiation dose by detecting the free radicals generated in the irradiated material. The radiation dose can be categorized into low dose (less than 1 kGy), medium dose (1-10 kGy), and high dose (greater than 10 kGy), and its effects can range from no clinical symptoms to severe symptoms, early fatal clinical symptoms, and early death. After decades of research, various…

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is a common feature in optical modules that provides real-time monitoring and diagnostic information about module performance and status.  DDM enables network administrators to better understand the operation of optical modules, enabling troubleshooting and performance optimization. The five real-time measurement parameters monitored by DDM are:  How does DDM work? DDM functionality is achieved by embedding a set of monitoring parameters and sensors in the optical module. These parameters include transmit power, receive power, operating temperature, voltage and other related indicators. The optical module communicates with external devices such as switches through internal digital chips, and transmits real-time…

The purpose of the battery charging performance test is to check the charging ability of the lithium-ion battery in different states. Battery charging performance test includes battery slow charging performance test and battery fast charging performance test. Among them, battery slow charging refers to a mode of charging at a lower rate. The battery slow charging performance test is performed at a specific temperature, including low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environment, focusing on charging capacity, charging energy and charging time. The specific test procedure is as follows. 1) Discharge the battery to the specified discharge cut-off conditions in a…

The purpose of the battery charging performance test is to check the charging ability of the lithium-ion battery in different states. Battery charging performance test includes battery slow charging performance test and battery fast charging performance test. Among them, battery fast charging refers to the mode of charging at a higher current rate. Fast charging is usually the act of charging at high current rates in a low SOC state of the battery system. Battery fast charging performance tests were conducted at designed current rates in low, normal and high temperature environments. The specific test procedure is as follows. 1) Discharge the…
