Portable Spectrometer from Ocean Optics Ideal for Field Applications

摘要

The Jaz spectrometer from Ocean Optics (www. OceanOptics.eu) is a handheld, field-portable analytical instrument that combines low-power optical sensing and onboard computing power for custom applications ranging from chlorophyll analysis in leaves and plants to solar irradiance measurements and ozone monitoring. Jaz is a family of stackable, modular and autonomous components that share common electronics and communications. This compact, monolithic system - a typical setup for field use is about 6 inches in height and weighs less than 21b. - comprises a miniature CCD-array spectrometer and a powerful microprocessor and onboard display with data logging capability, so that full spectra data can be acquired, processed and stored without the need for a PC. Ethernet and battery modules offer additional functionality for field use.
