WetLabs AC-Spectra

Overview

The AC-Spectra is a hyperspectral instrument for measuring the inherent optical properties of water. The instrument features a proven flow-through system, compact size, and excellent stability.

With 80+ wavelength outputs from 400-730 nm, the 4 nm resolution allows for spectral ‘fingerprinting’ and deconvolution analysis.

A 25-cm path length is employed for effective measurement of the cleanest natural waters.
