The OL 731 USB Smart Detector was Recently Featured on an Episode of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters
Te segment entitled “Let Tere Be Light,” which aired on the Wednesday,
June 22nd
episode, tested the theory of whether an underground chamber can be illuminated via light reflected off mirrors, much like a scene from the movie Te Mummy. Te OL 731 is a
low-cost, hand-held radiometer/photometer that can be tailored to the spectral response of the user’s specific application requirements.

Peering Deeply Into the Surface Lehigh University is now home to two unique surface- analysis instruments that are the only such advanced surface characterization instruments in North America. Te two new technologies will add significantly to national nanoscale surface science and analysis capabilities. Isolating and examining the very top or outer atomic layer, just 0.2 to 0.3 nm thick, can provide the most precise information about the nature of chemical reactions and why the phenomenon of nanotechnology is promising.
