Avantes introduces the AvaSpec StarLine, a new family spectrometers particularly designed for high performance in sophisticated applications

Eerbeek, Niederlande (ots) - The new Avantes AvaSpec StarLine
contains high speed spectrometers for process control, high
resolution systems for demanding measurements like atomic emission
and versatile spectrometers for common applications such as
irradiance and absorbance chemistry.

The application areas for the AvaSpec StarLine family are wide
e.g.:
- Reflection and transmission measurements for optics, coatings
etc.
- Colour measurement o Irradiance and emission measurements for
environmental
- Light characterization and optical emission spectroscopy
- High speed measurements for process control, LIBS or
laser/pulsed
- Source characterization
- Absorbance chemistry

The AvaSpec-2048(L) and AvaSpec-3648 are based on front
illuminated linear CCD arrays. Due to a special Avantes DUV-coating
it is suited for a wavelength range from 200 to1100 nm. The AvaSpec
