Introduction
The FieldSpec® 3 Spectroradiometer is a general-purpose instrument useful
in many application areas requiring the measurement of reflectance,
transmittance, radiance, or irradiance.
The FieldSpec spectroradiometer is specifically designed for field
environmental remote sensing to acquire visible near-infrared (VNIR) and
short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectra. Remote sensing is defined as the art and
science of obtaining information about an object without being in direct
physcial contact with the object.
The FieldSpec spectroradiometer is a compact, field portable, and precision
instrument with a spectral range of 350-2500 nm and a rapid data collection
time of 0.1 second per spectrum. The FieldSpec spectroradiometer is also
offered in various subsections of the spectral range.
While its most highly regarded features are performance and field-portability,
this instrument also performs well in the laboratory.
Accurate and Precise - High signal-to-noise ratio and superior
repeatability of results for better identification and analysis of materials.
Rugged and Transportable - Resistant to vibration and changes in
temperature or humidity.
Fast - 10 spectra per second data collection for the entire 350-2500 nm range.
»
0.1 second scanning time provides an accurate average every second.
»
Users can quickly scan several areas when analyzing bulk samples.
»
Rapid analysis allows screening all or most samples instead of spot
checking.
Compatible - Works with off-the-shelf chemometrics software
(Grams™ PLS plus/IQ and Unscrambler®).
