Introduction
Product Introduction
The Flame Spectrometer is the latest generation of Ocean Optics’ ubiquitous Czerny-Turner
design. With the release of the world’s first miniature spectrometer in 1993, Ocean Optics
helped to make spectroscopy portable, inexpensive and flexible in a way that was never before
possible. Researchers, educators and OEM manufacturers embraced the technology and have
used it in ways we never thought possible.
Flame Spectrometer
Now, fueled by our passion for solving problems, and inspired by the feedback of our customers
we have reinvented our core miniature spectrometer platform to meet the most demanding
challenges of today’s applications. Flame combines our heritage, creativity and insight in a way
that delivers the power of miniature, modular spectroscopy without compromise.
Flame is built using industry leading manufacturing techniques that help deliver high thermal
stability and low unit to unit variation without compromising the flexibility and configurability
that are the hallmark of the design. New features such as interchangeable slits, indicator LEDs
and simpler device connectors deliver more freedom and less frustration.
Whether you are an educator looking for an instrument to teach students the basic principles of
spectroscopy, a research lab looking to make a breakthrough, a scientist working in the field to
study the world around us or an engineer working to integrate a spectrometer into an OEM
system, the Flame will provide you with the performance and features you need to make your
UV-Vis spectroscopy application successful.
