Red Tide's modular design can be configured with various Ocean Optics optical bench accessories, light sources and sampling optics to create application-specific systems for thousands of absorbance, reflection and emission applications.
With its small footprint (89.1 mm x 63.3 mm) and USB interface, Red Tide is suitable for basic lab measurements.
The USB port streamlines start-up and supports hot swapping of the spectrometer.
Red Tide also interfaces to Pasco's Xplorer GLX.
Available from Ocean Optics or Pasco, the Xplorer GLX is a combined datalogger and lab analysis tool that eliminates the need for a PC.
Red Tide operates via Ocean Optics' SpectraSuite spectroscopy software, the first spectroscopy operating software to run on Macintosh, Linux and Windows.
A special version of SpectraSuite is available with a module for educational use, with features such as a Beer's Law calculator for absorbance experiments.
