Optical Spectroscopy Kit

The Ossila Optical Spectrometer with USB-C cable. Simply install the spectroscopy software and plug the spectrometer into a standard USB port on your computer to get started. The miniature optical spectrometer has a 320 nm to 1050 nm spectral range (covering UV-A, visible, and near IR), powerful internal electronics, and measures just 78 mm x 78 mm x 38 mm. Our optical spectroscopy kit offers the best value, but the Ossila Optical Spectrometer is also available as a standalone unit with the Ossila Spectroscopy Software package.

Eligible for FREE worldwide shipping and covered by our two-year warranty.

Spectroscopy Software

The included spectroscopy software makes it easy to control the spectrometer and measure intensity, transmission/reflection, and absorption. For custom integrations, the Ossila Optical Spectrometer can also be controlled via a number of simple serial commands. These are supported by most programming languages and can also be sent to the device via the spectroscopy software command window.

The spectroscopy software is supplied on the included USB memory stick. The latest version can also be downloaded via our website at any time.

Broadband White Light Source

Our USB-C powered LED Broadband White Light Source outputs light over the entire visible spectrum (360 nm - 900 nm) from a single light source. Measuring just 30 mm x 70 mm x 40 mm, our broadband white light source is considerably smaller than other light sources for spectroscopy (such as tungsten-halogen lamps) and is perfect for a wide range of optical spectroscopy studies in the visible range. Supplied with a USB cable, and covered by our two-year warranty.

UV Light Source

Our USB-C powered UV Light Source emits light at 370 nm. It is ideal for optical excitation in visible fluorescence spectroscopy measurements. The UV light source is small, lightweight, comes supplied with a USB-C cable, and covered by our two-year warranty.

Spectrometer Case

The spectrometer case allows the Ossila Optical Spectrometer to be bolted to any standard metric or imperial optical table or breadboard plate. Made from a tough partly flexible rubber and precision made for a snug-fit, it also provides the spectrometer with extra protection against drops and everyday damage.

Cuvette Holder

Compatible with standard 10 mm path length cuvettes including our UV Quartz Cuvettes and IR Quartz Cuvettes, the Ossila Cuvette Holder includes two removable plugs at 90 degrees to the optical axis to allow for fluorescence excitation. Suitable for use in either free space or fiber coupled arrangements and fixable to imperial or metric breadboard plates and optical tables.

Transmission Sample Holder (Four-Port)

Hold rigid or flexible films and samples in place with the Ossila Four-Port Spectroscopy Transmission Holder. Featuring a sprung clamp and threaded connector for four SMA optical fibers, the transmission holder is an important part of any optical configuration that involves flat samples or films. The transmission holder can also be used in a free space arrangement and can be fixed to a breadboard plate or table. This four-port version additionally allows for simple photoluminescence and reflectivity measurements.

Two SMA Optical Fibers

Two 400 μm core, 1 meter long multimode SMA optical fibers allow for direct optical connections to be made between the Ossila Optical Spectrometer, the Four-Port Spectroscopy Transmission Holder or Cuvette Holder, and the Ossila Broadband White Light Source and LED UV Light Source. Protective endcaps and a flexible steel outer sleeve prevent damage to the optical fibers, and the SMA connections make it easy to put together fiber coupled optical configurations.

Optical Breadboard Plate

The Ossila Optical Spectrometer (with protective case), Broadband White Light Source, UV Light Source, Cuvette Holder, and Four-Port Transmission Holder can be bolted to either metric or imperial breadboards. Our metric 150 mm x 300 mm anodized aluminum optical breadboard plate is the ideal size for small desktop configurations. The board features 55 M6 holes (a small pack of screws is provided) on a 25 mm grid. In addition, four untapped 5 mm holes in the corners allow it to be secured to a desk or workbench.

Optical Mirror

Our 20 mm x 15 mm x 1.0 mm optical mirror can be used as a specular reflectivity standard over the wavelength range 450 nm - 1000 nm, where it has a reflectivity of >90%.
