ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Sensirion presents the smallest and most accurate gas and pressure sensors
S
Precision inertial MEMS sensors offer ultra-high resolution
irst Sensor presents a new technology platform to fabricate high precision MEMS inertial sensors for the detection of inclination,
F acceleration and
vibration. The capacitive sensors are based on single crystal silicon and utilize the latest micromachining technology. The devices achieve large signal-to-noise ratios and excellent stability over temperature which allows them to detect smallest changes in acceleration or inclination. Due to high aspect ratio microstructures (HARMS) the sensors feature ultra- low cross axis sensitivities.
ensirion presents a new multi-pixel gas sensor and a new barometric pressure
sensor. Both new sensors, which rank among the smallest yet most accurate in their class worldwide, are capable of measuring indoor air quality (IAQ), the gases in a person’s breath, and barometric air pressure, required for indoor navigation applications.
as Further, the patented
highly flexible AIM (Air gap Insulated Microstructures) technology minimizes parasitic capacitances. Due to the modular semiconductor technology all inertial sensors can be easily and cost-effectively customized to fit individual application requirements. The MEMS capacitive sensing element together with an ASIC for signal conditioning is integrated in a hermetically sealed SMD package ready for assembling on PCB’s. First Sensor’s high precision inclinometers and accelerometers can be used in industry, building and medical technology.

The World's First Multi-Pixel Gas Sensor The new gas sensor is the first in the world to be based on multi-pixel technology. This allows the sensor to perceive its surround- ings using various receptors that, with the help of intelligent algorithms and state-of- the-art pattern recognition, are able to detect the type and concentration of gases. The flexibility that this provides means that now, for the first time, a single sensor is capable of detecting and distinguishing between different gases. Thanks to its very small dimensions of just 2.45 × 2.45 × 0.75 mm, the Sensirion multi-pixel gas sensor can be integrated anywhere. This will enable mobile devices to sense their surroundings in a way that was never possible before, for example in order to measure indoor air quality, determine the alcohol content of a person's breath, or recognize smells.

Ultimate Accuracy from the Smallest Pressure Sensor Together with the gas sensor, Sensirion is also unveiling a new barometric pressure sensor offering unrivaled relative accuracy: it is capable of detecting altitude differences of as little as ±1 Pa, equivalent to the height of a single step on a stairway. With this previously unheard-of degree of precision, the new pressure sensor opens up a new dimension in indoor navigation. This sensor, too, is exceptionally compact, measuring just 1.4 × 1.0 × 0.6 mm, so there are no limits to where it can be used.

New modular Jade™ platform
E Flexible LED illuminator T
he new Lumen 100-LED illuminator from Prior Scientific provides high quality illumination for a wide range of fluorescence applications on both upright and inverted microscopes. Directly coupling to the microscope for maximum light transmission, the broad array of LEDs
available cover wavelengths from 365nm to 660nm, ensuring that the Lumen 100-LED can be optimised for the vast majority of fluorescence microscopy applications. All LED units are interchangeable with the Lumen 100-LED controller. This means that should your requirements change, only a new LED, and not an entirely new unit, need be purchased. In addition, the unit’s versatility can be enhanced even more with the purchase of a combiner and dichroic filters, allowing multiple wavelengths to be used simultaneously – perfect for multi-fluorophore imaging. Providing 25,000+ hours of bulb life, the Lumen 100-LED is an environmentally friendly (mercury- free) illumination system that requires no special disposal regulations. The Lumen 100-LED includes a simple control unit able to control the intensity of the LED in 1% or 10% increments. The unit is almost totally free from either vibration or heat production, reducing disruption during the imaging process.
