Driven by our own strategic considerations and the requirements arising from various customer applications, we have expanded the electronic design of the COMPOLYTICS^® ScanCorder measuring head. The measurement principle of inverted spectroscopy is particularly well suited not only to the reflectance measurements implemented to date but also to fluorescence measurements, thanks to the sequential illumination via LEDs. However, this requires excitation wavelengths in the UV range, and these LEDs typically require a higher forward voltage than that provided by the rechargeable battery or the USB port. Of course, this is nothing too complicated, but it needs to be implemented and thoroughly tested in order to tailor the ScanCorder even better to the numerous applications of our customers worldwide.
