Hello to all science educators that have reached this page. This is a message specifically designed for High Schools in Ocean Optics' neighboring Florida communities.

Ocean Optics is a diversified photonics technology firm and a global leader in optical sensing. Ocean Optics is an advocate for science education and place high value in students learning the basic principles of spectroscopy as early in their academic career as possible. Principles such as Beer’s law, Rate law Kinetics and determining pH can all be learned through the use of our world class spectroscopy curriculum and software.

The High School Technology Transfer Grant is an excellent opportunity for you (the science teacher) to implement this state-of-the-art curriculum and technology into your science classroom. “Bringing Excitement into the Science Classroom” is what Spectroscopy101.com & Ocean Optics are all about.

By simply filling out the grant you will receive a discount of $1200.00 on the purchase of the Chemistry Pack (shown below). This package includes curriculum, getting started manual, software and the Red Tide spectrometer all for $499.00.

The top performing Spectrometer: The Red Tide USB650

Flame tests take on a new, more scientific meaning. Red Tide shows in a flash that these are emission line spectra. The easy software controls let you take multiple snapshots when the flame is just right. The high-tech light LED boosted tungsten lamp provides a full spectrum reference source. The integrated cuvette holder keeps out stray light allowing use in bright daylight. Red Tide makes chemistry more exciting and more scientific. Students can use it for research projects and teachers can display spectra to a whole class.
