CRAIC Technologies™ develops superior UV-visible-NIR microanalysis solutions: we build instruments to collect spectra and images of sample features ranging from sub-micron to hundreds of microns. CRAIC Technologies products include UV and NIR microscopes, UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometers, instruments to measure thin film thickness and colorimetry on the microscopic scale, Raman microspectrometers, automation solutions, traceable standards and more.
Microspectroscopy & imaging
One tool. Every measurement.
From deep-ultraviolet absorbance to near-infrared kinetics, a single CRAIC platform measures what used to take a bench full of instruments — on samples smaller than a micron.
-
How much light a sample absorbs, point by point, from the deep ultraviolet to the near infrared — the core measurement behind identification, purity and concentration.
-
The emission spectrum of labelled or naturally fluorescent features far smaller than a micron, under UV or visible excitation.
-
The light a material re-emits after excitation — for characterizing semiconductors, phosphors and the pixels of OLED displays.
-
A molecule’s Raman fingerprint, read non-destructively through a fixed confocal aperture — chemical identity from a single microscopic spot.
-
Automated maps of film thickness, transmission, reflectance, fluorescence and Raman across a whole surface, at micron resolution, in Lambdafire™ software.
-
Structure a colour camera cannot see — subsurface features, contamination and ultraviolet signatures — imaged from the deep UV to the NIR.
-
Reflected-light spectra of opaque and coated samples, from vitrinite coal to optical thin films.
-
Film thickness read straight from its interference spectrum — non-destructively, on optics and semiconductors, over areas smaller than a micron.
-
Polarized transmission and reflectance spectra and images for birefringent films, fibres and mineral sections.
-
The true, calibrated colour of microscopic areas — display pixels, inks and pigments — measured to CIE standards.
-
The refractive index of microscopic glass fragments, measured automatically to ASTM E1967 for forensic trace evidence.
-
How a sample’s spectrum changes over time — reactions, bleaching and diffusion — followed at the microscopic scale.
UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometer: an instrument designed to measure the UV-visible-NIR spectra of microscopic samples by transmittance, reflectance, polarization, fluorescence, and other types of luminescence. With specialized software, they can be used to measure thin film thickness, colorimetry and more. The following links have more information:
UV microscope: The UV microscope systems allow the user to image items that cannot be seen with commonly available microscopes that only cover the visible range. This capability is useful in diverse fields such as a protein crystal analysis for drug discovery to contamination control for semiconductors to interior circuits in bonded silicon devices.

NIR microscope: The NIR microscope systems allow the user to image items that cannot be seen with commonly available microscopes that only cover the visible range. This capability is useful in diverse fields such as a protein crystal analysis for drug discovery to contamination control for semiconductors to interior circuits in bonded silicon devices.

Raman microspectrometer: an instrument designed to measure the Raman spectra of microscopic samples. The following links contain more information:
- Glass Refractive Index Measurement: the intelligent way to measure the refractive index of glass and glass-like materials.
- Vitrinite Reflectance and Point Counting: Vitrinite reflectance and fluorescence of coal, coke and petroleum source rock.
- Universal C-mount Adapter: A unique solution for any microscope featuring three axis of alignment.
- Standards for Microspectrometers: Standards designed for use with microspectrometers and traceable to Standard Reference Materials.
- Film Thickness Measurement: Advanced microspot thin film thickness measurement solutions.
- Micro-Colorimetry: Micro-colorimetry with multiple color spaces and different illuminants.
- Automation: Many CRAIC Technologies solutions can be operated manually or programmed for automated operation.
