VS140 Low Cost Linear Array Spectrometers

Overview

In the lab, in the field, or on the shop floor you will collect the highest quality spectra possible with one of the new small, portable, and rugged VS 140 series linear array spectrometers. VS 140s have the largest aperture in their class, and are the only compact spectrometers available with a choice of either a linear CCD or high-dynamic-range PDA array detector. They come standard with Lynear software featuring on-the fly data treatment and automated time stamped data acquisition for unattended and process monitoring applications.
