In order to provide customers with a wider range of applications in the near infrared range, from 1000nm up to 2.2µm, Avantes has extended its spectrometer platform with the AvaSpec-NIR256.
The new AvaSpec USB 2.0 is a modular system mounted in 9.5-inch desktop (for one to four channels) or 19-inch rack mount housing (for up to 10 channels).
To be accessible to a wider range of applications, such as LIBS and plasma monitoring, Avantes has extended its spectrometer platform with the AvaSpec-3648-USB2, a new detector type, which supports a larger range of integration times.
