Red Tide
for Physics Studies
The Red Tide USB650
Spectrometer is a low-cost, small- footprint lab spectrometer
that's ideal as a general-purpose instrument for
budget-conscious teaching and research labs. The Red Tide has a
wavelength range of 350-1000 nm, and utilizes a detector with
650 active pixels; that’s 650 data points in one full spectrum,
or one data point per nanometer. Configured with a 25 µm
entrance slit, the Red Tide offers ~2.0 nm optical resolution (FWHM).
Flexible Platform, Convenient Interface
The Red Tide is a preconfigured, off-the-shelf
spectrometer where all of the optical bench options, such as grating and
entrance slit size, are already selected. The Red Tide can be used with
various Ocean Optics spectrometer accessories, light sources and sampling
optics, to create application-specific systems for various absorbance,
reflection and emission applications. With its small footprint (89.1 mm x
63.3 mm), convenient USB interface, and integration times as fast as 3
milliseconds, the Red Tide is a great tool for basic lab measurements.

* The USB-650 Red Tide comes without a light source or
sample system, allowing you the freedom to choose the accessories that
best fit your application.
Operable with PCs or Dataloggers
The Red Tide interfaces to PCs via its USB port, which
streamlines start-up and supports hot swapping of the spectrometer. What's
more, the Red Tide interfaces to Pasco's Xplorer GLX (in blue), a unique combination
of datalogger and lab analysis tool that eliminates the need for a PC. The
Xplorer GLX is available from Ocean Optics or Pasco.

Cross-platform Spectrometer Software
Red Tide operates via SpectraSuite Spectroscopy
Operating Software, the first spectroscopy software to run in Macintosh,
Linux and Windows. The Chemistry module for SpectraSuite includes features
specifically designed for educational use, such as a Beer's Law calculator
for absorbance experiments. The Red Tide also works with our educational
distributors' software.
