Lambda Photometrics is pleased to announce the arrival of the RIGOL DNA5000 and DNA6000 Series Vector Network Analysers (VNAs). These next-generation instruments provide fully vector-corrected S-parameter measurements from 5 kHz up to 26.5 GHz, designed specifically for the characterisation of high-bandwidth passive and active RF devices. DNA5000 Series: Precision Portability The Rigol DNA5000 is a 2-port solution engineered for environments...

The aerospace industry operates at the outer limits of engineering possibility. Every component (whether a turbine blade, flight control sensor, or optical window) must deliver flawless performance in extreme conditions of heat, stress, and vibration. In such an environment, even the smallest deviation can result in inefficiency, downtime, or catastrophic failure.For more than 50 years, Zygo-Navitar has supported aerospace manufacturers...

Lambda Photometrics is pleased to announce the arrival of the Rigol MHO900 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes – a new generation of high-performance instruments designed to deliver exceptional signal fidelity, advanced analysis capability, and modern connectivity in a compact and portable form factor. The MHO900 series combines 12-bit vertical resolution, up to 4 GSa/s sampling rate, and bandwidths up to 800...

Lambda Photometrics are delighted to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Electronic Design Show 2025 (EDS). We will be showcasing a carefully selected range of our latest test and measurement instruments and EMC pre-compliance solutions, with hands-on demonstrations and expert advice available throughout the event. Visitors to our stand can look forward to exclusive EDS-only offers, exciting giveaways...

Thin coatings consisting of materials such as gold or platinum that were applied via sputter coating do not always have the “metallic appearance” we are familiar with in everyday life. Gold or platinum coatings with layer thicknesses below 15 to 20 nm do not have the “gold appearance” or “platinum appearance” that one would expect. This is often interpreted by...

Modern materials analysis demands sample preparation tools that can keep up with the size, complexity, and sensitivity of engineering materials used in aerospace, semiconductors, and lithium-ion...

Join us for a webinar where we introduce an advanced Ar ion milling technique designed to make your work easier, faster, and more accurate. Click here to view a recording of the event. Traditional Ga focused ion beam (FIB) and Xe plasma FIB milling often cause amorphization and leave ion-implanted layers on TEM specimens. Fischione Instruments’ NanoMill® TEM specimen preparation system has...
