Description

Ocean ST-VIS Ultra-Compact Microspectrometer (350–810 nm)

The Ocean ST-VIS microspectrometer is an ultra-compact visible-light spectral analysis system designed for OEM integration, embedded instrumentation, and space-constrained optical measurement applications. Covering the 350–810 nm wavelength range, it delivers high-fidelity spectral performance in an extremely small footprint of just 42 × 40 × 26 mm.

Despite its miniature size, the ST-VIS provides high signal-to-noise performance and stable spectral output, making it suitable for both laboratory-grade measurements and embedded industrial systems. Its replaceable slit architecture allows users to optimize the trade-off between optical resolution and throughput depending on application requirements.

The spectrometer is built for seamless system integration, featuring USB-C connectivity, RS-232 support, and full compatibility with the OceanDirect SDK for custom software development, automation, and OEM deployment.

Typical applications include:

LED color and spectral characterization
display and lighting quality control
colorimetry and reflectance measurement
thin film and coating analysis
OEM embedded spectroscopic instrumentation
inline industrial optical monitoring
