• UniSpec Compact 100mm SPECTROMETER 

  • Wide range of wavelengths and resolution

The UniSpec compact spectrometer is a 100mm focal length spectrometer. Wavelengths from 200nm up to 1700nm can be measured. A wide range of gratings is available enabling wide or narrow band ranges. Resolution is dependant on the wavelength range but resolution down to 0.1nm/pixel is available. The UniSpec is available with a low cost CCD detector with 12 bit resolution or Photo-Diode array detectors with 12 or 16 bit resolution. InGaAs detectors for NIR measurements up to 1700nm.

Very good Price/performance

  • All UniSpec devices are available with USB, RS232 or parallel port interface.

  • Complete, plug into PC and run. No plug in PC card required.

  • Contact us with the spectral range you need, we will advise on a suitable grating or see the gratings list below.
