 '99 in Germany, the compact Spectro Lab Jr. CCD CCD
 in full charge-coupled device

Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device.
 from Spectro Analytical Systems, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Fitchburg is a city in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 39,102 at the 2000 census. Fitchburg is home to Fitchburg State College. History
Fitchburg was first settled in 1730 and was officially incorporated in 1764.
, was designed to provide foundries and diecasters metals analysis of all vital foundry-related elements at an affordable cost.

The spectrometer spectrometer

Device for detecting and analyzing wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, commonly used for molecular spectroscopy; more broadly, any of various instruments in which an emission (as of electromagnetic radiation or particles) is spread out according to some
 uses state-of-the-art optical design and new detector technology to provide full coverage of the necessary wavelength range, enabling optimum performance. If a new element is added, the upgrade can be made via email or the Internet.

The spectrometer is controlled via a touch screen display in conjunction with Windows 98-based Spark Analyzer software. Sample analysis requires a keystroke key·stroke

 and takes less than 30 sec. Analyses are automatically identified and/or verified against a customized alloy/grade library. Optional software is available for charge calculation, statistical process control charting and creation of analysis certificates.

The bench-top spectrometer system is turnkey and comes with a factory-supplied calibration. The system only must be plugged in and have a quality control test performed before production samples can be analyzed. The systems open spark stand provides accessibility for large and odd-shaped samples.
