Researchers rely on manufacturers to create instruments crucial to their work, often facing limitations due to mass production and built-in obsolescence. However, a unique approach prioritizing innovation, excellence, and perpetual upgradability sets one company apart. Their intense focus on software and computerizing spectrophotometers from 1976 to 1991 reflects their belief that the computer should handle everything beyond housing samples and producing signals in research instruments. This perspective, encapsulated by Olis Clarity, emphasizes software superiority over hardware complexities. (Olis Clarity)
