The SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database app is designed as a tool for X-ray spectroscopy measurements.
APP NAME: SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database
OFFERED BY: Periscope Design
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.1 and up), iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (requires iOS 6.0 or later, optimized for iPhone 5).
WHAT IT DOES: The SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database app is designed as a tool for X-ray spectroscopy measurements. According to the company, the app allows users to specify a transition energy value in keV and automatically determines displays the elements and “lines” closest to this value. The app also includes a database with general properties for each element.

Improving Fluorescence and Raman Techniques for Environmental Microplastic Analysis
March 31st 2025A recent study conducted at the LaserLaB Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) explored spectroscopic imaging techniques, including Raman and fluorescence microscopy, for characterizing microplastics (MPs), focusing on optimizing sample preparation, particularly density separation, and Nile Red staining.Spectroscopy spoke to Merel Konings, corresponding author of the paper resulting from the study, about her work
New Study Provides Insights into Chiral Smectic Phases
March 31st 2025Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the molecular arrangement of the 7HH6 compound’s smectic phases using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy.
