Semiprobe has developed a low-cost solar cell probe system for research applications.
Built on the modular Probe System for Life (PS4L) platform, the system allows users to configure their test instruments to best suit their experiments.
The video microscope slides into position for probe placement and out of the way to bring in an overhead solar simulator.
Semiprobe provides manual and semiautomatic probe systems for solar cell research applications primarily focused on characterising materials and finished solar cells.
The flexibility of the PS4L platform allows users to modify their system as their test structures and procedures change.
Mostafa Daoudi, vice-president of engineering at Semiprobe, said: 'This platform allows us to provide custom probing configurations in a few weeks.
'The PS4L system continues to gain acceptance in meeting the flexibility requirements of research and production disciplines from microelectronics, material science, biological and more,' he added.
