Ocean Optics USB2000-VIS-NIR: Ready-to-Go Spectrometer for VIS-NIR Applications


Dunedin, Fla., December 2001 - Ocean Optics' USB2000-VIS-NIR provides users an off-the-shelf, plug-and-play, miniature fiber optic spectrometer usable in the 350-1000 nm wavelength range. Arranged with a pre-set grating and optical bench accessories, the USB2000-VIS-NIR is priced at only $2,449 and is available for immediate delivery.

The USB2000-VIS-NIR Spectrometer plugs into the USB port of any Windows 98 or Windows 2000-based PC, eliminating the need for external power supplies and analog-to-digital converters. The unit's 2048-element linear CCD array detector, a 25 µm entrance slit, and a 600 lines/mm grating combine to deliver optical resolution to 1.5 nm (FWHM).

Ideal for colorimetric measurements, the USB2000-VIS-NIR is shipped with Ocean Optics OOIBase32 operating software, an advanced acquisition and display program that provides a real-time interface to a variety of signal-processing functions.

Ocean Optics makes available hundreds of accessories to optimize the USB2000-VIS-NIR for specific applications.

Three direct-attach accessories, effective for measurements from 390-900 nm, are available to expand the USB2000-VIS-NIR into a complete spectrophotometric system. Engineered specifically for USB2000 Spectrometer models, the Direct-Attach Accessories combine an application-specific sampling chamber with a light source in an all-in-one package. The USB-ISS-VIS model is designed for use with 1-cm square cuvettes, while the USB-ISS-T and USB-FHS hold 12-mm OD test tubes and 1" or 2" square/round filters, respectively.
