Metal detectors are portable electronic devices used for detecting the presence of any metal close by. They operate by sensing changes in magnetic waves caused by metal. The metal objects can be anything from old coins to gold nuggets.
Dr. Susanne Droescher, Sales Engineer at GreenTEG talks to AZoSensors about characterization of building envelopes and the monitoring of laser power using the gSKIN sensor.
A net radiometer is an actinometer used for measuring net radiation at the Earth’s surface. The net radiation normal to the earth's surface is the difference between the total upward radiation flux and the total downward radiation flux.
Numerous industries such as those involved in manufacturing, processing, storing or transportation of flammable materials.
Most of the sensor systems rely on light as the signal source. LEDs are often ideal as a light source due to their high efficiency.
