Ocean Insight

In this tech tip, we discuss the relationship of free space coupling and spectrometer performance, the role of fibers and slits, and how to manage light in your setup.

In this application note, we use a modular Raman spectrometer setup to monitor the kinetics and reaction completion of a quick-curing, two-part epoxy.

Partners from the environmental sensing company JB Hyperspectral discuss the challenges of field measurements and their use of Ocean Insight spectrometers.

In this application note, we explore how spectroscopy can be used in plastics recycling to identify and sort a variety of plastics with a high degree of specificity.

In this application note, we use an Ocean Insight spectrometer to measure the color shift that occurs with deposition of an aluminum alloy to a powder-coated wheel.

FT-NIR spectroscopy is a useful tool to identify textile samples, with distinct spectral features observed at wavelengths >1350 nm. This approach can be applied to authentication of natural and synthetic consumer textile products.

In this tech tip, we describe how a well-engineered cuvette holder like Ocean Insight’s Square One enables more accurate and repeatable absorbance measurements.

We describe several Ocean Insight NIR spectrometer options that meet a significant range of price, performance, and application criteria.

In this application note, we describe how NIR spectroscopy delivers objective data the food and agriculture industries are using to maximize quality and efficiency.

In this application note, we describe how Raman spectroscopy and related optical sensing techniques are effective for discriminating natural from artificial gemstones.
