Touchless operation of machinery for hygiene management, measurement tools for ensuring social distance and labor-saving autonomous robots are becoming more common in everyday life.

Today, distance sensors are playing an increasingly important role as a key enabling component in the development of such technologies. Distance Image sensors measure the distance to an object per pixel, using an indirect TOF (time-of-flight) method. It is the optimum sensor for people and object detection, and shape recognition for applications where touchless or labor-saving technology is required.

To meet the needs of these applications, Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new range of 3D time-of-flight back-thinned image sensors. Through back-thinning, these new sensors deliver high sensitivity in the near-infrared region. An integrated active circuitry improves the tolerance to background light and makes this new range of distance sensors ideal for measurement applications including hygiene management, measurement for social distancing and remote operations. They are also available in a compact wafer-level package.

Hamamatsu can offer evaluation kits to aid development, and customized solutions to meet your specific application needs.

MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.
