Microspectrophotometers -- manufacturing process

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the manufacturing process of microspectrophotometers, with participants seeking and sharing information relevant to a presentation on the topic. The scope includes inquiries about the technical aspects of manufacturing, including design, assembly, and validation processes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a comprehensive explanation of the manufacturing process for microspectrophotometers, indicating a lack of prior knowledge.
  • Another participant questions the rationale behind presenting on a topic without prior understanding, suggesting a need for foundational knowledge.
  • Several participants provide a link to a website that offers design information but express skepticism about the availability of detailed manufacturing process information.
  • A participant emphasizes the complexity of manufacturing processes, noting that many aspects may not relate directly to the operational characteristics of the device.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on specific areas of interest within the manufacturing process, indicating a desire for targeted questions to guide the discussion.
  • A participant mentions familiarity with general manufacturing processes and expresses a need for details on etching and masks used in the production of microspectrophotometers.
  • One participant suggests breaking down the manufacturing process into subsystems, acknowledging the complexity of the overall system.
  • A participant recommends a book for an introduction to integrated circuit technology, which may relate to the manufacturing processes discussed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of knowledge and interest in the manufacturing process, with no consensus on the availability of detailed information. Some participants question the feasibility of obtaining comprehensive insights into the manufacturing of microspectrophotometers.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the complexity of the manufacturing process, including various subsystems and technical aspects that may not be directly related to the device's operational principles. There is uncertainty regarding the specific information needed for the presentation.

Hello!

Can someone please help me with finding a full explanation on the production (manufacture) process of microspectrophotometers?

I need to do a presentation on microspectrophotometers and I have a problem with finding this information.

Thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
the question has to be asked ...

Why are you doing a presentation on something you know nothing about ??
 
You can start here:
http://www.microspectra.com/support/service-contracts/microspectrophotometer-design

And look at images for "microspectrophotometer design"

I doubt you will find much on the actual manufacturing process, that is, how the pieces are put together and the system is validated.

I know a bit about it.. but that's the idea, to learn about some device you don't know and do a presentation on it.

thanks

I know this website and I used it, but I also need more info about the manufacturing process.. hopefully I will find some info about it.

Are you familiar with manufacturing processes in general? Are there specific areas of the manufacturing that you are curious about?
Most of them have nothing to do with the operating characteristics or principles of the device being built. And, they have little to do with the actual technical or operational nature of the sub-systems, sub-system testing, systems, system testing, components, system integration, assembly, quality control, inspection, etc etc etc.
So, I'm kind of curious about what sort of things you want to learn from understanding the manufacturing process of this particular device?
Ask a few specific "manufacturing process " questions.

I am familiar with manufactoring processes in general, I've studied 2 courses about this subject.
I need to explain about the device and part of it suppose to be about it's manufactoring process.
You can see the idea in the picture (step by step of how to create the device).
All the etching, masks etc.. that's what I need. To explain how to create this in a lab, not how it works (I've also explained this in the presentation, now I need to add the manufactoring process).

Thanks!

I'm not going to be able to provide any insight into the manufacture that particular instrument or any of its subsystems.
But, you are talking chip (masks, etch, etc) and asking about a complex system containing many assemblies.
Or, are you just asking about the sensor?
I can only suggest you take one of the many system block diagrams that are available and talk about each of its subsystems. But it seems like a huge task to break down the manufacturing of all those assemblies.
