Ocean ST microspectrometer options are available for UV, visible and shortwave NIR wavelength coverage, offering great application flexibility. Also, the replaceable slit design allows users to optimize the optical resolution and throughput of their setup. Choose a narrow slit width for light-rich applications where resolution is most important. For low-light applications, select a wider entrance slit to allow more light into the spectrometer. The Ocean ST microspectrometer is compatible with Ocean Optics light sources, accessories and OceanView software, allowing users to mix and match components...
