Craic Technologies has introduced Minerva, its 64-bit Windows 7 microspectrocopy software package designed for both industrial processes and scientific research.
The software is designed to collect, analyse and process microspectra from Craic microspectrophotometers running 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
Minerva-64 is said to be simple to use and includes advanced spectroscopic control and analysis features.
Minerva-64 combines 64-bit software with the hardware and optics of Craic UV-visible-NIR range microspectrometers.
The software allows the user to control Craic microspectrophotometers and to acquire high-quality ultraviolet, colour and near-infrared spectra of microscopic samples by absorbance, reflectance or fluorescence.
The software is then used to analyse those microspectra.
Designed for the production environment as well as the laboratory, it incorporates a number of sophisticated tools for analysing spectra.
It also incorporates two modes of operation: a production level with recipe-driven instrument control and data analysis in addition to a password-protected engineering mode for creating those recipes and for advanced research.
