The latest round includes cryogenic testing on the telescope's science cameras and spectrographs as well as the installation of the final flight mirrors. Webb's scientific instruments will have to endure a bumpy ride out of Earth's atmosphere and a long trip to its final destination: an orbit a million miles away from home and at a frigid 40 K (- 87 F).     Learn more   Miniature (Micro) LM Guide Models SRS5 and RSR1 THK America, Inc. SRS — Since its LM rail has a low sectional height, this THK LM Guide has a lightweight and compact structure, starting at 5 mm. RSR — These models can receive in all directions, and adequately operate under small moment loads despite being single-rail guides. RSR Miniatures start at 1 mm.

Threaded wells are available in materials that can be readily welded. Flanged wells are manufactured by welding a bar stock well to the specified flange style.

Learn more   Single Photon Counting Modules Deliver Low Light Detection Qioptiq Excelitas Single Photon Counting Modules (SPCMs) are self-contained and easy to use for best in market photon counting performance across parameters like high Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE), low afterpulsing, highest uniformity over active area, high linear dynamic range, and low dark counts. Entire series of SPCMs are engineered and manufactured to RoHS-compliannce. Select from a range of specialized models to meet your needs: NIR, fiber coupled, four channel, and time correlated studies. Learn more.

View now   Chemical Sensing Could Improve Downhole Drilling Researchers have developed a technique to determine the chemical composition of materials using near-infrared light, enabling the study of substances that can't be measured accurately using sensors that operate within the infrared spectrum. The near-infrared technique could improve downhole drilling analysis in the oil and gas industry and broaden the spectrum of solar light that can be harvested and converted to electricity.   Learn more   Earthbound Methane Leak Detected from Orbit Using the Hyperion spectrometer on NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite, scientists detected methane plumes from a facility near Porter Ranch, CA, during the winter of 2015-16, giving scientists a better sense of how much atmospheric methane is released due to human activity. The data was collected as part of an investigation of the large accidental methane release last fall and winter from a natural gas storage facility near Aliso Canyon, CA. View now   Wireless Connectivity has Changed — Learn How New Technologies are Changing Instruments Vaisala The Internet of Things has created wireless technologies without the typical risks: intermittent connections, lost data, and security issues. Partnering with Pharmaceutical Business Review, Vaisala presents a new webinar that outlines how advances in wireless technology is changing how environments are monitored.

Compact, comfortable, and easy-to-use, it offers up to 14X magnification of on-screen measurements with integrated XY grids and cursor functions. Ideal for mobile use and in areas with poor lighting and difficult access. Learn more.   View now

View now   Optical Fiber Measurement System for Astronomy Applications Molex Instruments has developed an optical bench to test and validate optical fibers to determine if they are appropriate for astronomy applications. The optical bench performs measurements to quantify beam spreading in multimode optical fibers, which can cause resolution degradation and inconsistent images.   Learn more   Handheld Device Provides Early Warning of Leaks, Explosives University of Utah engineers have developed a new fiber composite material for use in a handheld scanner to detect small traces of alkane fuel vapor. The portable device could provide an early warning of leaks in an oil pipeline or airliner, or for locating a terrorist's explosive. The composite incorporates two nanofibers transferring electrons from one to the other; when an alkane sticks between the fibers, it blocks the electron transfer.
