SPIE Photonics West 2023 is the premier photonics, biomedical optics, and laser events. Exhibitors share their latest solutions and make important connections as everyone gathers for an exciting year of collaboration and business growth. Start the year off right by reconnecting with vendors customers, clients, and prospects at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Photonics West historically attracts over 1100 exhibitors and 20,000 international attendees. We look forward to seeing everyone again in San Francisco. Check this event here.

We celebrated our move to our new building in Plainview, NY last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception. This move for tec5USA represents a pivotal step in defining our growth plans, with a 50% increase in space to accommodate our future growth. Our new building follows our environmental, social and governance (ESG) values and our pledge for net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The building features motion-sensing trimmable LED lighting, motion-controlled faucets, an Autani smart energy management system to control HVAC and five e-car charging stations. We look forward to the years ah ..read more

We are pleased to announce we are moving to a new location to accommodate our growth. We will open our new offices on Tuesday, December 7th at 9:00 am. Please update your records with the following new contact information: tec5USA Inc.120 Terminal Drive Plainview, New York 11803 516-653-2000 Our business, including website, email, and telephone numbers will be fully operational during the moving process and you should not experience any changes or delays in service, production, or shipping during this time. Please feel free to contact us at 516-653-2000 with any questions ..read more

The tec5USA crew enjoyed a Summer Soirée, an evening out at Prime Steakhouse in Huntington, NY. Good food and drinks, along with great weather made for an excellent evening of relaxing fun with the Team. Special thanks to Sebastian Huelck and Ioana Rednic for hosting the event, and to Alexia Lalvani for organizing it. Thanks to all who attended, and we look forward to doing it again.   ..read more

The legislation provides $52 billion to companies building computer chip factories and research facilities in the United States, intervention conservatives long opposed as picking winners and losers President Biden signs the Chips and Science Act into law alongside major proponents including Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Todd C. Young (R-Ind.), and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). (Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post) President Biden on Tuesday signed legislation providing $52 billion in subsidies to the semiconductor industry, kicking off what will be one of the lar ..read more

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe so far. Webb’s First Deep Field is galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and it is teeming with thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared. Webb’s image is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length, a tiny sliver of the vast universe. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying more distant galaxies, including some seen when the universe was less than a billion years old. This deep field, t ..read more

If you know a little about spectroscopy, you might know that some types of spectroscopy are known as “absorption spectroscopy.”  You also might know that in absorption spectroscopy, the chemical composition of a sample is determined based on how much electromagnetic radiation within a certain spectrum it absorbs.  But how exactly does this measurement work? Just like with almost every element of the spectroscopic method, there is a certain physics phenomenon that governs this measurement process.   This phenomenon is known as the Beer-Lambert law or Beer’s law for short.&nb ..read more

Let’s say you need to find out the chemical composition of a certain liquid or solid sample — for example, to detect impurities. How do you determine this in the quickest, most efficient, and most accurate way?   The answer is spectroscopy — a chemical analysis method that relies on how different chemical elements interact with light and other types of electromagnetic radiation to determine what the elements are.   The key instrument used in spectroscopy is a spectrometer — a simple yet complex machine. But how exactly does it work?   In this article, we will answ ..read more

Looking to implement a spectroscopy solution within your manufacturing process, but not sure what method is right for your scenario?   We’ve got you covered — spectroscopy as science is rather complicated as it is. Throw in the different types of spectroscopy, and you might be left scratching your head.  In our previous article, we covered UV-Vis spectroscopy — one of the most popular and effective spectroscopy methods. However, UV-Vis spectroscopy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why NIR spectroscopy or near-infrared spectroscopy exists.   In this article, we wi ..read more

Imagine that there are two jars in front of you, both filled with a certain chemical solution. These compounds are completely different from each other, yet to the naked eye, they look identical.  How can you tell what each substance is in the safest, fastest, and most accurate way possible?    The answer is absorption spectroscopy — a scientific method that can determine the chemical composition of a solution by measuring how this solution absorbs electromagnetic radiation.   There are several different methods of absorption spectroscopy based on the exact types ..read more
