Infrastructure and special equipment of Department of Optoelectronic Measuring Methods

LAB OP-EL

Laboratory of X-ray microtomography

Joint laboratory of the Institute of Measurement Science of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Materials and Machine Mechanics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Its equipment was obtained within the CEKOMAT project from European Union resources.

   
Nanotom

Nanotom 180 X-ray computer microtomograph with submicron resolution (200-300 nm) and a detector resolution of 2300×2300 points. It includes a powerful computer cluster (8 PCs) for the reconstruction of 3D images from projections and software modules for measuring porosity and defects, and for coordinate Metrology. The device enables 3D analysis of the structure of materials (composites), non-destructive testing and measurement of the dimensions of internal 3D structures of small objects with a resolution of up to 0.5 µm / voxel (sensors, microelectromechanical systems, electronic components, biological objects, archaeological artifacts).

Laboratory of Optical and FTIR Spectroscopy

The laboratory is part of the Department of Optoelectronic Measurement Methods and its equipment was obtained from the EU structural funds within the CEKOMAT 2 project.

   
Opt-spectrometer

The laboratory is equipped with a optical UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer Horiba-Jobin-Yvon iHR 550 , which is sensitive in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
   

Furthermore, the laboratory is equipped with an Fourier transform infrared spectrometer – Agilent Technologies Cary 680 , whose sensitivity band in the infrared region extends up to 25 μm. The laboratory is used for optical characterization of materials, measurement of their optical spectral characteristics of reflectance, transmittance and absorbance.

 FTIR-spectrometer

Laboratory of Optical Measurement Methods

The laboratory is also part of the Department of Optoelectronic Measurement Methods and its equipment is used primarily in the field of research of cultural heritage sites, including the European project COST.

   
Thermocamera

For the field of optical measurements, a NEC San-ei Thermo Tracer TH7102WX thermographic camera is available with an uncooled microbolometric matrix detector, a spatial resolution of 320×240 pixels and a temperature range of -40 – 500 ° C, with noise equivalent temperature resolution of 0.08°C at 30°C, sensitivity range 8 – 14 µm, and meter error ± 2% of range.
