Terahertz made easy
Our laboratory has recently installed a state-of-the-art Menlo TeraK15 terahertz system for fast, easy, real-time terahertz scanning and fast imaging.
Near-field versatility
Our lab also provides near field emission and detection capabilities via our Protemics Teraspike Microprobes at any polarization.
