Newport Introduces the OSM-400, a High Performance Portable Spectrometer
Irvine, California - March 4, 2004 - Newport Corporation has introduced the OSM-400, a self-contained, portable spectrometer with a choice of spectral ranges to cover the ultraviolet through near-infrared spectral regions. Optical input is via a fiber optic with SMA connector, or directly though the input slit. With an on-board 32-bit processor, color liquid crystal display and graphical user interface for data display and touch-screen control, the OSM-400 can be used to carry out local data analysis in real time. Data can be stored, archived and transported on removable SmartMedia memory cards. Data may also be downloaded via an RS-232 link or optional 10/100 Ethernet port.
The OSM-400 is ideal for laboratory research, and process control and QC applications, as well as for OEM system integrators. Target markets include chemistry and biochemistry, semiconductor research and fabrication, pharma, biomedicine, foodstuffs, astronomy, and education. It can be configured for various types of optical spectroscopy, including fluorescence, atomic emission, near-IR absorption, and Raman.
The OSM-400 is the first product to be introduced from Newport's comprehensive new line of spectrometers. The OSM-400 features high performance data acquisition and on-board analysis in a cost-effective package. Its battery operation provides up to 4 hours of continuous portable use making it ideal for field or production line applications, as well as in shared laboratory environments. The high performance of the OSM-400 offers resolution up to 1 nm, and uses a 12-bit A/D converter for data acquisition with a high dynamic range making it well-suited for demanding research applications. And, with its detector array having 2048 elements, the OSM-400 can simultaneously provide high spectral resolution and wide spectral coverage.
