Combining low-power optical sensing and onboard computing power for custom applications the Jaz system comprises of a miniature CCD-array spectrometer and a powerful microprocessor with an onboard display containing data logging capability. Full spectra data can be acquired, processed and stored without the need of a PC.
Suitable for a wide range of applications like horticultural and ecological sciences; biotechnology; solar analysis and environmental monitoring; marine sciences and geological research; surface waters analysis and pollution monitoring such as site remediation and fenceline monitoring; and health and safety, a typical setup for field use is about 6 inches in height and less than 2 lb. It can be expanded to include light sources (VIS-NIR or LED) and additional spectrometer channels.
