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 350-1000nm, and utilises a detector with 650 active pixels; that's 650 data points in one full spectrum, or one data point per nanometer.
Configured with a 25um entrance slit, the Red Tide offers ~2.0nm optical resolution (FWHM).
The Red Tide is a pre-configured, 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 (89.1x63.3mm), convenient USB interface, and integration times as fast as three milliseconds, the Red Tide is a great tool for basic lab measurements.
