Product Name: USB-650 Red Tide Spectrometer
Product Description
The Red Tide Spectrometer is a low-cost, small- footprint lab spectrometer that's ideal as a general-purpose instrument for budget-conscious teaching and research labs. The Red Tide has a wavelength range of 350-1000 nm, and utilizes a detector with 650 active pixels; that’s 650 data points in one full spectrum, or one data point per nanometer. Configured with a 25 µm entrance slit, the Red Tide offers ~2.0 nm optical resolution (FWHM).
Flexible Platform, Convenient Interface
The Red Tide is a preconfigured, off-the-shelf spectrometer where all of the optical bench options, such as grating and entrance slit size, are already selected. The Red Tide can be used with various Ocean Optics spectrometer accessories, light sources and sampling optics, to create application-specific systems for various absorbance, reflection and emission applications. With its small footprint (89.1 mm x 63.3 mm), convenient USB interface, and integration times as fast as 3 milliseconds, the Red Tide is a great tool for basic lab measurements.
Spectrometer Alone or with Sampling System
The USB-650 Red Tide comes without a light source or sample system, allowing you the freedom to choose the accessories that best fit your application. The USB-650-VIS-NIR (at right) comes with a direct-attach light source and sample holder. The light source includes an LED-boosted tungsten source and a sample holder for 1-cm cuvettes that connects to the front of the spectrometer. In this configuration, the system has a wavelength range of 370-980 nm.
Operable with PCs or Dataloggers
The Red Tide interfaces to PCs via its USB port, which streamlines start-up
and supports hot swapping of the spectrometer. What's more, the Red Tide
interfaces to Pasco's
Xplorer GLX (in blue), a unique combination of datalogger and lab
analysis tool that eliminates the need for a PC. The Xplorer GLX is available
from Ocean Optics or Pasco. Visit
Pasco for details.
The Red Tide also works with Vernier’s Logger Pro Software. Visit Vernier
for details.
Cross-platform Spectrometer Software
Red Tide operates via SpectraSuite Spectroscopy Operating Software, the first spectroscopy software to run in Macintosh, Linux and Windows. The Chemistry module for SpectraSuite includes features specifically designed for educational use, such as a Beer's Law calculator for absorbance experiments. The Red Tide also works with our educational distributors' software.
