Understanding the propagation of dislocations, and formation of sub grain structure / boundaries during the production of mono like bulk Silicon is fundamental for delivering low cost high efficiency solar cells. Mapping grain orientation and grain structure are traditionally done using Electron Back Scattered Diffraction but is limited to small areas. The Photonic Science X-ray…

A Brief Introduction to X-ray Imaging: First discovered by Roentgen, X-rays have been a cornerstone technology in medical diagnostics, helping clinicians diagnose a wide range of immediate and underlying health issues in patients. Yet this familiar technology is useful for a broad application base beyond medical radiography interventional surgery and CT applications. X-ray imaging covers…

Ensuring that seed germination occurs at the same time requires systematic inspection / selection of seeds. Tomato seeds below imaged at <20kV combined with 16 megapixel resolution are key parameters to scan through massive amounts of specimens with reliable fail / pass discrimination criterion. Geometric magnification combined with phase contrast effects unveils folding structure embedded…

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras offer an extended dynamic range for unprecedented intrascene performance, empowering users to visualize critical phenomena in vivid detail. This is achieved by exploiting the portion of infrared light between the visible and mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectrums. Photonics Science is one of the foremost SWIR camera suppliers worldwide, offering a choice of…

Production of High efficiency solar panels depend on strict selection of the highest quality grade bare silicon wafers as well as processed cells with the lowest defect density. Current sorting inspection tools are based on CCD or CMOS cameras and are only capable of capturing the tail of electroluminescence or photoluminescence peak signals emitted beyond…
