64-bit software platform for data acquisition in spectroscopy and scientific imaging

The LightField 64-bit data acquisition software platform from Princeton Instruments (Trenton, NJ) provides comprehensive control of cameras and spectrometers via tools that help streamline experimental setup, data acquisition, and post-processing. Suitable for multi-user facilities and single-user labs alike, the platform remembers each user’s hardware and software configurations and tailors its own features accordingly, displaying relevant tools via an intuitive graphical user interface. LightField is ideal for optical imaging, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, surface and materials analysis, combustion studies, and astronomy. Regardless of application, users can create a region of interest (ROI) directly from a reference image, simultaneously view multiple ROI images/spectra, or view multiple instances of a single ROI at different magnifications.
