Description
The SM445 is a cutting-edge, compact CCD spectrometer designed for seamless integration with a PC. Its innovative design is based on SP's specialized optical bench, making it an ideal choice for a variety of spectral and color measurement applications. Whether you're working on high dynamic range projects or other demanding tasks, the SM445 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance. It can accept light directly through its built-in slit or via an optical fiber, offering flexibility in how it can be used.
The robust aluminum housing ensures stable operation across a wide range of temperatures, making it a reliable tool in diverse environments. One of the standout features of the SM445 is its use of the Toshiba TCD1304 sensor arrays, which are known for their sensitivity and stability. This is further enhanced by a unique UV coating process and customized order sorting filters, allowing for a measurement window of up to 850nm, ranging from 200nm to 1050nm. This broad range, combined with a high pixel count, makes the SM445 particularly suitable for applications that demand higher resolution. The spectrometer's compact and modular design ensures it can be easily integrated into various setups, making it a versatile tool for researchers and professionals alike.
The SM445 connects via a USB 1.1/2.0 compatible interface, supporting a 16-bit extended dynamic range. This interface can accommodate multichannel configurations of up to eight channels, enabling higher resolution across a wide range or the creation of a dual spectrometer system for simultaneous measurement and reference. Additionally, the spectrometer benefits from a new UV-enhancing coating that significantly boosts UV sensitivity below 450nm, improving signal sensitivity by approximately 20-50% below 500nm. Software support is comprehensive, including an SDK and DLLs for custom application development, alongside the SM32Pro Windows-based spectral acquisition and analysis software, ensuring users have all the tools they need for effective data acquisition and analysis.
