 Spectrometers and Accessories

The USB4000 spectrometers are miniature fiber optic UV-VIS-NIR detection systems for low light level applications. They are compact and portable, measuring just 63.34 mm x 89.10 mm x 34.37 mm, and weighing only 180 g. These spectrometers accept light energy transmitted through single-strand optical fiber and disperses it via a fixed grating across the CCD array. These spectrometers are compatible with all of our FIA/SIA systems.

FIAlab offers three configurations as listed below.  Custom and Multiple channel configurations are also available, please inquire. For accessories such as light sources, and optical cables,  visit our spectrometer accessories page.

These spectrometers are plug and play compatible with FIAlab for Windows software, which is included with the purchase of a complete FIAlab system.   The spectrometers can also be controlled by Spectrasuite software, purchased separately.
