Radioactive particle microanalysis isolates individual radioactively-hot particles from environmental samples and identifies the nuclide content, size, and mineral/metallic form of each particle. This technique is also used to identify the origin of hot particles, and to separate naturally occurring, global fallout, and industrial hot particles.
Digital Optical Microscopy provides an electronic or hard copy record of true-color digital micrographs. Magnifications of up to 5000 times are available. The technology allows users to identify the sources of hazardous materials in soil, dust, air, and waste samples. Some of the artifacts visible by this technique include textile or mineral fibers, fly ashes, paint chips, combustion by-products, metal and explosion fragment, crystal structures, and ultraviolet fluorescent minerals. This technique is very useful for determining if specific waste generator is responsible for environmental contaminants found in the environment or in homes.
Live Video Digital Microscopy allows you to produce a Mac or Windows compatible video file of any optical micrograph. Videos allow you to add micrographs to presentations, perform zooms, pans, and show focal plane movements of objects. A video generally gives a better presentation of views of multiple artifacts in a sample. It can also allow you to display live biological specimens and chemical reactions.
Videos can be produced in true-color darkfield or lightfield modes, or by hard or soft ultraviolet backlighting. Videos, like all digital micrographs, can be saved on disks or hard drives and they can be emailed.
