The Choice for Economic Solution on Spectral Applications
The SM255 is a new compact CCD Spectrometer for users who are looking for an economical solution with a limited budget. Based on SP's special optical bench design, it supports many different applications where spectral or color measurements are required.
The SM255 can accept light directly through its built-in slit or via optical fiber. The durable aluminum housing that encloses the SM255 provides stable optical bench operation over a wide range of temperatures.
The standard sensor arrays used are the Sony ILX 511 for SM255. The array driver electronics have been designed for highly sensitive yet stable operation. Spectral Products applies a standard UV coating on the CCD to use down to 200nm. This array in conjunction with the standard UV coating and customized order sorting filter allows the two most popular covering ranges, 200-900nm and 380-760nm.
Standard interface to the SM255 is a USB 1.1/2.0 compatible interface with 16-bit extended dynamic range. The USB board used in the SM255 does not support multichannel configuration but just single channel mode. However, most applications that just need a single spectrometer will be fine with this model.
Software support includes SDK examples and DLL for dedicated applications development and our SM32Pro Windows-based spectral acquisition and analysis software.
