eQC In-Situ Energy Detector (patented)

The eQC is an energy meter permanently present in the sample chamber. It is there to allow a user to check the laser energy being delivered to the sample immediately before and after analytical runs and to confirm that the laser was working as expected. This can be particularly useful where long unattended runs are being undertaken as it gives the analyst the confidence that everything worked as required with consistent ablation parameters being delivered throughout. ​
