Chemical element mapping of drill cores is a new service SPECTRAL Industries is offering now. We can perform up to 50 x 50 mm² area scans with down to 100 x 100 µm² spatial resolution, visualising any element, including light elements e.g. Lithium and Carbon. We are upscaling our capabilities to also allow for larger […]

  We successfully demonstrated SPECTRAL’s LIBS sensor 150 meters below the surface in an old silver mine. We showed that our LIBS sensor equipment is robust and transportable for operation down in the mine and that it delivers high quality LIBS signals in this harsh environment. Examples: we detected sulphur at 180.7 nm and trace levels […]

To demonstrate the capabilities of our LIBS In-line Grade Scanner for Ore Sorting, we have made a YouTube video: you can find the video here. SPECTRAL has realized the in-line grade scanner in close collaboration with Eijkelkamp SonicSampDrill (www.sonicsampdrill.com).

It took a while to prove that our in-house developed UV-CMOS camera is indeed operating below 200 nm, but the proof is here now. LIBS measurements on steel, arsenic and phosphor samples showed high signal-to-noise ratio emission peaks. Also the purging ability of the IRIS spectrometer works according to design. It is possible to purge […]

The SPECTRAL Industries team was selected for the Rockathon final, 4-5 September in Tampere, Finland! The Rockathon challenge – organized by EIT RawMaterials and Sandvik – seeks a solution to increase mineralogy and ore quality information of the rock mass in real-time onboard high-tech mining equipment. SPECTRAL’s robust and sensitive LIBS-based concept is recognized as […]

Our European framework project “Real-time Mining” has published a very nice paper describing our project ambition and the impact the results can have on mining operations. The publication was also presented by our project leader Jörg Benndorf at the International Future Mining Conference in Sydney, Australia last year. Please downloed the publication here. If you […]

  The first SPECTRAL Industries spectrometer is now available. Inspired by R&D for the ExoMars mission to Mars, we developed a very efficient and robust spectrometer for application on Earth. Our unique technology offers space technology quality hardware, that can be used under a wide range of conditions. If you need reliable characterization in a […]

  During a live event in the oldest observatory of the Netherlands, SPECTRAL finished first runner-up in the finals for best tech-idea of 2016! We congratulate Medical Delta with their first place. An impression of the event and information about all finalists pitching their tech idea can be found here.

  SPECTRAL Industries is proud to announce that it has selected Flash Photonics as its exclusive sales and distribution partner in the United States and Canada for its revolutionary UV-CMOS echelle spectrometer. The new UV-compatible CMOS camera and spectrometer are useful for UV wavelengths down to 180 nm, which is a clear first using a […]
