Avantes CompactLine : AvaSpec-Mini Spectrometers

Looking for a very small spectrometer with a resolution of up to 0.1 nm?

Then the new generation Avantes AvaSpec-Mini Spectrometer is an ideal choice.
It’s only the size of a deck of cards, yet delivers stray-light levels lower than 0.17% and weighs only 174 grams. Easy to take anywhere you like.

Miniature spectroscopy redefined. That’s what Avantes consider the CompactLine series spectrometers. The new generation AvaSpec-Mini is definitely one of the smallest spectrometers at the market today.They are available in versions for ultraviolet, visible and near infrared, so a suitable CompactLine spectrometer is available for your situation.

The Avantes AvaSpec-Mini Spectrometers finds its way into many areas of research, such as light analysis, chemical research and Raman spectroscopy. Or use it as a tiny OEM-spectrometer in your application. The possibilities are endless.

Of course, the AvaSpec-Mini works seamlessly with Avantes spectroscopy software.
