USB650 Red Tide spectrometer for teaching

Teaching USB650 Red Tide spectrometer; The Red Tide spectrometer is a low-cost, miniaturized laboratory spectrometer, an ideal choice for low-budget teaching and research laboratories seeking routine equipment. The Red Tide spectrometer has a wavelength range of 350～1000nm and is equipped with a detector of 650 active pixels; it can display 650 data points across the full spectrum, or one data point per 1nm. Because it is configured with a 25 µm entrance slit, the Red Tide spectrometer can provide an optical resolution of approximately 2.0nm (full width at half maximum).; SpectraSuite software is the only software capable of driving the Red Tide spectrometer.; Flexible platform, convenient interface; The Red Tide spectrometer is a fully configured, off-the-shelf spectrometer product, including optical bench accessories of various options, such as gratings and entrance slits, all already configured. The Red Tide spectrometer can be used together with various spectrometers' accessories, light sources, and samplers from Ocean Optics, Inc. (China) to build specific systems suited to different absorbance, reflection, and emission application scenarios. Due to its compact size (89.1 mm x 63.3 mm), convenient USB connection, and integration time as fast as 3ms, the Red Tide spectrometer is a useful tool for basic laboratory measurements.; Works with computers and data collectors; The Red Tide spectrometer can be connected to a computer via a USB interface, can be started simultaneously, and supports instant data exchange. Moreover, the Red Tide spectrometer can also be connected to the Xplorer GLX (the blue part in the figure) produced by Pasco. The Xplorer GLX is a unique data collector and laboratory analysis tool that can replace the functions of a computer; it can be purchased from Ocean Optics, Inc. (China) or Pasco, and for more detailed information please visit Pasco's website.; Cross-platform spectrometer software; The Red Tide spectrometer can be operated through SpectraSuite spectrometer software, which is the first spectrometer software that can run under Macintosh, Linux, and Windows systems. The chemistry module in the SpectraSuite software includes features specially designed for educational needs, such as the Beer's Law calculator for absorbance experiments.; Product Specifications; Physical Characteristics; Dimensions; 89.1mm x 63.3mm x 34.4mm; Weight; 190 grams; Detector; Model; Linear silicon CCD array; Pixels; 650 active pixels; Pixel size; Pixel well depth; 62500 electrons; Sensitivity; 400nm: 75 photons/count; Optical Bench; Design; f/4, asymmetrical cross Czerny-Turner design; Focal length; 42mm input; 68mm output; Entrance aperture; 25 µm wide slit; Fiber optic interface; Spectral Characteristics; Wavelength range; 350～1100nm; Optical resolution; approximately 2.0nm full width at half maximum; Signal-to-noise ratio; 250:1 (full signal); Analog/digital resolution; 12-bit; Dark noise; 3.2 RMS counts; Dynamic range; 2 x 10^8 (system), 1300:1 single detection; Integration time; 3ms～65s (15s typical maximum); Stray light; <0.05% at 600nm; <0.10% at 435 nm; Correction linearity; Computer; Operating system; Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X and Linux w/USB interface; Operating software (required); SpectraSuite spectrometer software; The Red Tide spectrometer is a low-cost, miniaturized laboratory spectrometer, an ideal choice for low-budget teaching and research laboratories seeking routine equipment.
