ELECTRON TUBE PRODUCTS 22 News 2018 Vol. 1 New Xenon Flash Lamp/Module for Broad-Wavelength Infrared Light Source ND Inspection Industry Security Optical Comms Semicon Prod. Analytical Measurement Drug Discovery Life Science Medical Academic Res. Broad-wavelength infrared light source – ideal for high-precision quantitative and qualitative analysis Emits a continuous spectrum from 160 nm to 7,500 nm ideal for a wide range of inspection, measurement, and analysis. Compared to conventional thermal type light sources such as halogen lamps, xenon flash lamps generate less heat and provide instantaneous high peak output making them ideal for applications where high accuracy is required. Features „ „ High output „ „ Long life „ „ Intense continuous spectrum „ „ No warmup required „ „ Low heat generation: Causes less thermal damage to sample „ „ High stability Applications „ „ Food product inspection • Food sorting • Food analysis (sugar content, lipid, moisture measurements) • Foreign matter inspection „ „ Gas measurement and analysis • Multiple gas detection (CH 4 (methane), C 3 H 8 (propane), CH 3 OH (methanol), etc.) Xenon flash lamp/module Spectral distribution (typ.)
