Research and Development

Pembroke Instruments imaging and spectroscopy products deliver research-grade performance, broad spectral coverage, and outstanding cost-to-capability value, making them ideally suited for university laboratories and government research facilities working at the frontiers of science and engineering.

1. Access to Advanced Spectral Regions at Lower Cost

Pembroke Instruments provides SWIR, MWIR, LWIR, hyperspectral, UV, VUV, and X-ray spectroscopy and imaging systems that allow researchers to explore material, chemical, thermal, and structural properties that are invisible to conventional visible-light instruments. This enables cutting-edge research at a fraction of the traditional system cost, allowing more labs to access advanced techniques.

2. Research-Grade Performance for Publications & Grants

Our systems deliver:

• High sensitivity and low noise

• Radiometric and spectral accuracy

• High spatial and spectral resolution
  These attributes support peer-reviewed publications, grant-funded projects, and long-term experimental programs in physics, chemistry, materials science, semiconductor research, biomedical imaging, geology, and environmental science.

3. Broad Application Coverage from a Single Vendor

Pembroke Instruments supports:

• Semiconductor inspection

• Thermal physics and heat transfer

• Chemical and molecular analysis

• Advanced materials and nanotechnology
