SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers a range of field portable spectrometers and spectroradiometers for geologicasl remote sensing and mining applications.
Spectral Evolution's lightweight battery operated portable
spectrometers and spectroradiometers can be outfitted with
a fiber optic contact probe or a reflectance probe for
benchtop use. Units can be handheld, tripod mounted, or
carried with a shoulder strap or backpack for easy use in
the field. A fold-up field cart is available for core shack use.
We offer handheld personal digital assistants, or portable
computers with wireless bluetooth interfaces to speed up
your data collection. Contact us today and ask us about our
portable case options and custom accessories!

SPECTRAL EVOLUTION's field portable, battery-operated
exploration,as well as the quantification of metallurgical and
mineralogical properties during production and processing.

Using our portable UV/VIS/NIR reflectance spectrometers, you
can identify:
  • Al(OH) group minerals
  • Sulphates
  • Si(OH) group minerals
  • Fe(OH) group minerals
  • Mg(OH) group minerals
  • Carbonate group minerals
  • Selected OH-bearing silicates
  • Selected zeolites
  • Selected rare earth element (REE)-bearing minerals
  • Selected massive sulphides


These systems provide a number of unique, in-field benefits,
including:
  • Full UV/VIS/NIR spectral range of 350-2500nm
  • Fast scanning and ease-of-use - one touch operation, auto-
    optimization on every scan - internal storage of up to 1,000
    scans with the PSM-3500
  • Portable, lightweight unit with optional Getac PS-236
    handheld PDA - easy for one person to use
  • Getac eliminates your field notebook - record audio notes,
    add your GPS position, take pictures of your samples, and
    save it all
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries- lightweight, four hour
    operating life
  • Immediate start-up  - no warm up - start taking readings
    immediately to take advantage of daylight and weather
  • DARWin SP data acquisition software collects your critical
    data, saves in ASCII files - no post-processing necessary -  
    use with SpecMIN, GRAMS, TSG and other 3rd party
    software
Convenience for field

spectrometer can be
controlled via Bluetooth
connection by a
Windows-enabled
laptop or ruggedized
personal digital

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
collection remotely. The
GETAC PS336 PDA is  
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 digital
camera) and voice
notes with its built in
microphone. In this
image, the PS336 was
used to identify the
presence of
montmorillonite. The
extra bright VGa 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
SPECTRAL EVOLUTION PSM and SM Series Spectrometers are ideally suited for mining
exploration, mineral identification, and mining production.  These spectrometers cover the
UV/VIS/NIR spectra using three photodiode arrays with no moving parts. This makes them
supremely reliable in the field. PSM Series and SM Series Spectrometers can collect spectra in
as little as 100 milliseconds and store up-to 1000 scans in the unit without a computer.. The
instrument control and data handling and is compatible with a wide range of 3rd party analytical
exclusive DARWin SP Data Acquisition Module included with each unit allows for full featured
software, including:  SpecMIN, GRAMS, The Spectral Geologist (TSG), and  others. In the graph
