Choosing the right optical instrument is critical for the success of your R&D project. However, given the considerable investment and with so many different types of instruments available, selecting the right system and the right vendor can be difficult. We’ve laid out five simple steps aimed at streamlining the decision-making process.
1. Requirements and Specifications
An important part of the process is to determine the specifications of the system you require. Are there existing studies or publications that used a similar system for the same application? If so, what specifications were used? Were your specifications discussed and approved by your team? If you’re looking for an industrial camera, for example, what resolution, speed, and noise level are required? What data output format do you need? What cable lengths are necessary?
2. Access to Product Information
After compiling your system specifications, it is time to look for a system satisfying your requirements. At Axiom Optics, one of the first ways we can help is by providing an extensive resource of information on our website. All product information should be available in just a couple of clicks, giving you instant access to specifications, diagrams, manuals, and examples of applications. Our website will help you determine which product is the most suitable.
3. Talk to an Expert
