Description
The Ocean FX is a high-speed miniature spectrometer designed for applications requiring fast acquisition and reliable CMOS detector performance. With the ability to collect up to 4,500 scans per second, the FX captures precise spectral data from rapid events and dynamic processes, making it a trusted choice for demanding UV–Vis measurements.
Equipped with onboard buffering and averaging, the FX prevents data loss during high-speed acquisition and ensures accurate results in critical measurements. Covering a wavelength range of ~200–1025 nm (depending on configuration), it offers flexible resolution options to balance speed and spectral detail. Its combination of sensitivity, stability, and acquisition speed makes it suitable for both research environments and high-throughput industrial workflows.
The FX features a robust communications module with USB, SPI, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity, supporting both laboratory integration and remote sensing. Multiple trigger modes enable synchronized operation with external devices, while compatibility with the OceanDirect™ SDK gives developers advanced control of acquisition parameters, automation, and seamless integration into OEM systems.
The Ocean FX is well suited for measurement of high-intensity light sources and plasmas, monitoring fast reaction kinetics, environmental sensing, and high-speed sorting or quality control applications. Its proven performance, versatile connectivity, and fast sampling rate make it a reliable and adaptable solution for a wide range of scientific, industrial, and embedded applications.
