STS-VIS
Microspectrometer
Visible Spectral Analysis in a Tiny Footprint
The STS-VIS Microspectrometer offers powerful performance in a small footprint. At just 50 mm square and weighing ~60 g (2 oz.), the STS delivers optical resolution, sensitivity and stability comparable to much larger, more expensive spectrometers. Its rugged design and great unit-to-unit reproducibility make STS especially attractive for integration into devices and other applications where a small footprint is required. Whether you are performing low-concentration absorbance measurements or high intensity laser characterization, the STS-VIS delivers the performance you need.

Small Size. Big Performance.
The STS-VIS is small, but its performance is comparable to spectrometers more than twice its size. Using a unique optical design and a CMOS array detector, the STS-VIS delivers a high signal-to-noise ratio (>1500:1) and a wide dynamic range (4600:1), making it ideal for measurements from low-concentration absorption to high intensity light and laser characterization. Reliability was designed into the STS-VIS, where a high thermal stability and low baseline drift ensure your data stays accurate, even under changing environmental conditions.

Configuration and Integration
By selecting the appropriate entrance slit for your STS-VIS the resolution of the measured spectrum can be optimized for your application. Choose a narrow slit for light-rich applications where resolution is most important. For low-light applications, select a larger entrance slit allowing more light into the spectrometer.
The STS-VIS easily integrates into your small device or sits comfortably next to your process line for quality control measurements. With several software control options, including drivers that allow direct control of the spectrometer, the STS works with your existing systems to help you get the valuable answers you need.
The STS is also available in versions for the UV (190-650 nm) and NIR (650-1100 nm). Ocean Optics offers a complete line of light sources and sampling accessories to complement your STS spectrometer. Contact us today to configure the best system for your application.
