Ocean Optics launches heating device to maintain thermal stability of spectrometers
Ocean Optics
USB-TC heating device
Ocean Optics has released the USB-TC small-footprint heating device, which is designed to maintain the thermal stability of spectrometers operating in variable environments, such as industrial settings.
Compatible with the company’s USB2000 and USB4000 miniature spectrometers, the unit attaches directly to the spectrometer and maintains wavelength thermal stability to within /-0.025 pixels/ ºC, ensuring spectral performance is not affected by temperature variations.
The USB-TC, which will operate in temperatures ranging from 5 to 40ºC below the setpoint temperature, is available with pre-selected setpoint temperatures between 25 to 55ºC and comes with a 12VDC, 3A power supply.
With constant ambient temperature, the USB-TC stabilises to within 0.1ºC of the final temperature within 30 minutes of power-up.
