	pH Meter works on your iPhone®! Measure and record pH values in the lab or field using the PH-1 meter for iPhone® and iPod®. The supplied app provides real time display of pH, millivolts, ambient temperature and solution temperature. Simply plug in the PH-1 to your iPhone® or iPod® and follow instructions to download your FREE app from AppleTM App Store.
	Optical Oxygen Sensors Optical O2 sensors measure the fluorescence quenching by O2 of fluorophores excited by a pulsed LED. The fluorophores are captured in sol-gels or polymers designed for use in water, gases, foods, slurries, solvents and other media.  The sensors are read by our Neofox phase fluorometer in either a USB lab format or a portable version called the Sport. We have dozens of probe styles and even patches that can be read remotely.
	Near Infrared (NIR) Spectrometers We use InGaAs detector arrays in our Nirquest line of fiber optic spectrometers. These come with standard Indium Gallium Arsenide CCD arrays for the 900 - 1700nm band, and enganced InGaAs for 900nm - 2100nm or 900nm - 2500nm versions.
	UV - VIS Fiber Optic Light Sources We have UV LED sources and high power VIS LED sources with advanced features like triggering and multichannel operation. Our visble sources are tungsten halogen bulbs with high stability power supplies, for both illumination and calibration Our deuterium and deuterium-tungsten combination sources come in advanced minature models and high power bench top sized units. Atomic emission lamps offer wavelength calibration
	Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometers We have the best LIBS systems available. Our Photon machines Insight model features an Echelle spectrometer with intensified camera, or multichannel CCD spectrometers from Ocean Optics. We offer NIR or UV lasers, integrated computer controlled stage and magnified optics and complete software for control and chemometric analysis.
	Raman Spectrometer Systems from Wasatch Photonics Wasatch has the most remarkable holographic volume phase gratings (VPGs) that have remarkable efficiency at the 785nm Raman laser wavelength. VPGs can be made with high line densities and high efficiency and low polarization dependence.  Couple that to really efficient f/#1.3 optics and you get incredible sensitivity and fast acquaition of spectra (typical 100 msec).  This new muscle car technology is a availble as the CHEVELLE Raman plate reader for micotiter plates, or as the NOVA hand-held raman system that boasts of benctop performance in a tiny self contained package.
	Multi-spectral and Hyper-spectral Imaging Systems Our Spectrocam is a unique system built on a rotating filter wheel concept. You can choose up to 8 filters from our off-the-shelf selection, or custom designed for your application. Excellent tool for biological imaging applications, security & surveillance, counterfit detection and product inspection.
	Laser Powered broadband source This unique light source is a xenon discharge lampo that is powered by an IR laser. The result is a very small, well defined arc that has very high radiance -- making ideal to focus into optical fibers or other optical systems.  the lifetime is incredible as well, into the 10's of thousands of hours and still counting! Spectral output is from 170nm through 2000nm. Models come free beam, or with collimating optics, or fiber coupled.
	Rent to Own! Our program is quite simple. You get the system you want, all new equipment with full warranties. We charge 15% of the purchase price per month, 1st and last month due at time of order. At the end of 7 months, you own the system. We also have some selected systems available for weekly rentals.

Interesting Applications

Here are a few samples of applications using our technologies.  The first is using spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging to locate hemoglobin in tissues. The spectra on the left were obtained with a jaz spectrometer and a reflection probe equipped with a tungsten halogen light source. The reference was our WS-1 white standard.  Hemoglobin has absorbance peaks around 545nm and 570nm. These are prominent in the spectra of the tongue, which is highly vascularized.  You can also see the peaks in induced erythema as a simulation of a bed sore.  Stage 1 bed sores are diagnosed by visual observation of reddened skin --- but thats quite difficult in patients with dark skin.  The images at the right show a fused image acquired with Spectrocam. The erythema is very evident.  Spectrecology is working with prospect Photonics of atlanta, GA to devlop this bed sore camera for NIH.

This spectra shows the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectra. The data was obtained with an HR4000 high resolution spectrometer. These lines are absorption bands due to gases and volatile compounds in the atmosphere










Here is one of the first spectra taken on Mars by the ChemCam system on the lander Curiousity.  The spectra was obtained using laser breakdown spectroscopy... a laser zaps a sample of rock (or dust in this case) and creates a 15K degree plasma that ionizes a tiny portion of the sample. As the plasma cools, electrons return to the atoms and release specific wavelengths of light.  the result is an instant elemental analysis.

ChemCam is a marvel in that it can do this at a distance, using a telescope to capture the spectra.

Ocean Optics worked on the design of the space hardened spectrometers, which were based on our HR2000 bench concept.
