What our Customers are saying...

"I am using the Infratec camera with an infrared laser, where the frequencies of that laser are spatially dispersed and imaged on the camera. The light intensity of the infrared frequencies are monitored as a function of time, with microsecond time resolution, which gives information about the formation or destruction of chemicals during a reaction. The high sensitivity and image quality are outstanding, and there is very little noise from the camera contributing to the overall signal I observe. It is easy to interface with the camera using the supplied software, and the ability to externally trigger and gate the camera is an excellent advantage. I found that the sales and technical teams have been very supportive and responsive to questions or queries before, during, and after the camera installation."

Dr Julia H. Lehman, School of Chemistry, University of Leeds

"The Montana Cryostation lies at the heart of a number of experiments in my group. The Cryo-Optic add-on allows us to perform optical spectroscopy on single organic molecules at low temperature with excellent collected photon count rates from the in-vacuum high-NA objective. The system reaches a base temperature low enough to observe atomically-narrow resonances in these molecules, making them suitable for use in quantum technology. The automated temperature control allows us to investigate the effects of phonon-induced dephasing with ease, while the integrated nano-positioning system and sample holder – designed in collaboration with Montana Instruments and QD-UK – is fully compatible with the nanophotonic devices we are investigating at low temperature. All of our experiments benefit from the low vibrations seen in the Montana Cryostation, from stable coupling to nanophotonic waveguides to diffraction-limited confocal microscopy. The support we have received from QD-UK has been excellent – they are easily contactable should issues arise and are very open to collaborative problem solving to expedite finding a solution. Having all of this is in a closed-cycle system that does not require the purchase of expensive and increasingly rare liquid helium is the icing on the cake."

Dr Alex S. Clark, Centre for Cold Matter, Imperial College London

"We purchased Moxtek polarisers to integrate into a custom system for quantitative polarised light microscopy that we developed in collaboration with Professor Alan Boyde (Queen Mary University of London). Due to our stringent technical demands, we required polarisers that could offer excellent polarisation uniformity over large apertures, provide exceptional contrast and that displayed minimal transmitted wavefront distortion (TWD). QD UKI provided us with exceptional service, facilitating discussions with Moxtek to ensure that the polarisers satisfied our needs. Cairn Research looks forward to working with QD UKI again on other projects."

Dr Gareth Rogers, Cairn Research Ltd
