Description
The RedBullet (RB) Series spectrometers introduce a concave mirror Czerny-Turner optical design in an extremely compact and lightweight package. Built on an embedded 8-bit microcontroller, the RB Series provides ultra-fast readout, short integration times, precise trigger timing, and low power consumption. Powered via USB with additional external I/O ports, these rugged, miniaturized spectrometers are ideal for portable and OEM applications in the near-infrared region.
