StellarNet, Inc.
Company Description
StellarNet provides low cost miniature spectrometer systems and spectroscopy software for product analysis, research, education, and OEM. StellarNet instrumentation is rugged for any environment-lab, process, or field. Most items are in stock with immediate delivery and customer service and support is a top priority.
In 1991, StellarNet developed a mini fiber optic spectrometer that connected to a computer's printer interface, a revolutionary advancement of the time in size, speed, and functionality. Over the years StellarNet has continued the trend of ingenuity and has become a global leader in optical sensing and miniature spectrometer systems with unmatched price performance.

sCMOS vs CCD: Advancing High-Speed CARS Spectroscopy
July 14th 2025A new comparative study shows that scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras could rival traditional CCD detectors in certain Raman CARS spectroscopy applications, offering faster readout and dynamic range despite slightly higher noise levels.
How Analytical Chemists Are Navigating DOGE-Driven Funding Cuts
July 14th 2025DOGE-related federal funding cuts have sharply reduced salaries, lab budgets, and graduate support in academia. Researchers view the politically driven shifts in priorities as part of recurring systemic issues in U.S. science funding during administrative transitions. The impact on Federal laboratories has varied, with some seeing immediate effects and others experiencing more gradual effects. In general, there is rising uncertainty over future appropriations. Sustainable recovery may require structural reforms, leaner administration, and stronger industry-academia collaboration. New commentary underscores similar challenges, noting scaled-back graduate admissions, spending freezes, and a pervasive sense of overwhelming stress among faculty, students, and staff. This article addresses these issues for the analytical chemistry community.
