The Insight™ LIBS System
High-sensitivity microanalysis made simple

Major and minor elements can be resolved and the 30,000+ points in a typical spectrum can be expanded to reveal lines separated by less than 0.02 nm in the UV range. The intensified CCD camera used in the Insight allows excellent sensitivity to low light levels -- enhancing the spectral of trace elements.

The addLIBS™ software included with Insight  is designed to make plasma emission spectroscopy analysis easy. addLIBS allows you to explore spectra using partial NIST or in-house spectral libraries, annotate spectra, develop calibration methods using known samples and apply calibrations manually or automatically to unknown spectra.

Once a method is developed, it can be repeatedly applied without further analysis or it can be modified at will.
