- Description
- A portable spectroradiometer which has been designed to measure the wavelength and intensity of visible light and colour. Spectral relates to the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light surfaces that can differ in the proportion of incident light they reflect upon. Measuring the spectral energy of a light source such as sunlight reaching a forest floor. This model includes a 5-meter permanent ruggedized fibre optic cable used for NIR irradiance and radiance measurements with a spectral range of 350 - 2500 nm and a spectral resolution of 3 nm at 700 nm and 8 nm at 1400/2100 nm. Accessories include a hard-shell foam-lined carrying case, Spectralon white reference panel, ergonomic padded backpack, backpack travel case, fibre optic cable pistol grip, fibre optic cable inspection magnifier, 12VDC 70W power supply, NIMH battery and charger, 20' car charge adapter, and RS3-data collection, calibration, and operating software.
