Configurable spectroscopic system
Possibility of selecting desired combination of the interaction chamber, laser, detection system, specialized module and optomechanical accessories. Mutual compatibility guaranteed.
Plug-in concept
Easy system expansion by the user, wide spectrum of modules: components of the interaction chamber, lasers, spectrometers, detectors, vacuum components etc. The user simply joins the new module into the setup and activates the corresponding software plug-in.
Designed by scientists for scientists
Designed to be opened and ready for various researcher`s extensions and experiments. Allows to fully concentrate on the LIBS method and its results rather than troubleshooting and system building.
Capable and intuitive software
Integrated software for control of all the system elements, spectra capturing and spectra processing with still growing chemometric capabilities.
