Spectral Evolution's lightweight battery operated portable
spectrometers and spectroradiometers can be outfitted
with FOV lenses or fiber optics. Units can be handheld,
tripod mounted or carried with a shoulder strap or
backpack for easy use in the field. We offer fiber optic
reflectance probes and portable computers with wireless
bluetooth interfaces to speed up your data collection.

options and custom accessories!
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION Field Portable Handheld Spectrometers &
Spectroradiometers are lightweight, battery operated and easy
to move from project to project- perfect companion for many
applications including mineral reflectance, vegetative studies,
solar analysis and ground truthing of airborne hyperspectral
analyses.
Our field portable, remote sensing units offer all of the advanced
features of our lab units including:
- 100% linear photodiode array platform- with InGaAs and
silicon detectors for best resolution and sensitivity @ 350-
2500nm ranges
- Fast, full spectrum UV-VIS-NIR measurements with one-
touch operation- autoexposure & auto dark current shutter
- Diffraction grating / beam splitter optics- no moving
gratings or trifurcated fiber optics to break in the field
- No internal fiber optics- allows maximum sensitivity and S/N
ratio with higher performance direct FOV lens optics
- Industry standard optional SMA fiber optic connection for
easy interchangeability
- Lightweight (<7 lbs with slide-in LiIon rechargeable battery)
and easy to carry
- Bluetooth interface for wireless operation
Features unique to SPECTRAL EVOLUTION Portables include:
- Li-Ion Rechargeable batteries (2 provided) with separate
external charger for continuous, uninterrupted use
- Software for both Windows-based laptops and bluetooth-
compatible personal digital assistant (PDA) for maximum
flexibility
- Membrane control panel for stand-alone operation without
a computer connection (includes flash memory to hold 500
scans)
- Snap-on battery-operated cooling fan option for stable
performance in extreme high-temperature conditions
- Nylon carrying strap with sturdy, reinforced eyelets for
added security
- Laser guide to aid in target sighting with foreoptics
(Spectroradiometers only)

True handheld convenience for field work or remote sensing!- Every
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION handheld spectrometer can be controlled via
Bluetooth connection by a Windows-enabled laptop or ruggedized
personal digital assistant (PDA) running Microsoft Windows Mobile.
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers a PDA compatible version of its DARWin
SP Data Acquisition Package that permits rapid analysis of mobile data
and can be used to trigger data collection remotely. All SPECTRAL
EVOLUTION handheld portable spectrometers also feature fingertip
controls and an LCD function display, as well as internal memory to
store up to 500 spectra, so the unit can even be operated without a
computer or PDA! SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers the GETAC PS236
PDA preloaded with all necessary software to run all Bluetooth enabled
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION Spectrometers. The GETAC can be used to tag
spectra with GPS readings, photos (with its built-in 3 megapixel
camera) and voice notes with its built in microphone. In this image, the
PS236 was used to take a leaf scan along with a photo of the leaf. The
extra bright 480x640 display can even be viewed in direct sunlight!


SPECTRAL EVOLUTION PSM Series Spectrometers use firmly attached diffraction
grating-based internal optics with multiple photodiode array detectors. This ensures both
high sensitivity and resolution without having to use light-robbing internal fiber optics,
ultra-narrow slits or moving gratings & prisms that can get knocked out of alignment.
PSM-Series Spectrometers can collect spectra in as little as 100 milliseconds. The
exclusive DARWin SP Data Acquisition Module included with each unit allows for full
featured instrument control and data handling and is compatible with UNSCRAMBLER for
further data manipulation. LABVIEW drivers are also available (please inquire). In the
graph above, the PSM-3500 was used to measure reflectance of kaolinite (purple), illite
(green), montmorillonite (red) and SRM-1920 (cyan). The DARWin SP Data Acquisition
Module allows multiple scans to be charted simultaneously for easy data analysis.
