Vacuum Monitoring in Optical Coating Systems

Leave a Comment / Industry Applications / By /

In optical coating systems—whether for anti-reflective lenses, precision mirrors, dichroic filters, or high-damage-threshold laser optics—vacuum quality directly determines film uniformity, adhesion, and optical performance. Even minor pressure fluctuations during physical vapor deposition (PVD) or ion-assisted deposition can shift refractive index, introduce scatter, or reduce coating durability. At Poseidon Scientific, our VG-SP205 Pirani Vacuum Transmitter and

SPE extraction of algal toxins from environmental water samples

SPE Extraction Methods for Algal Toxins in Water

Leave a Comment / Environmental Analysis / By /

Overview of Harmful Algal Blooms Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a significant environmental and public health concern in water systems worldwide. These blooms occur when colonies of algae—primarily cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)—grow out of control and produce toxic compounds that can contaminate drinking water sources, recreational waters, and aquatic ecosystems. The proliferation of HABs is often
