Spectral Evolution RS-3500 Portable Spectroradiometer

The Affordable Spectroradiometer Bundle

The RS-3500 is a remote sensing spectroradiometer bundle that includes a fiber optic field portable remote sensing spectroradiometer plus all the accessories to match your application and budget.

The RS-3500 Remote Sensing Bundle provides:

  • Fast, full-spectrum UV-VIS-NIR measurements – 350-2500 nm with just one scan using the SR-3500 spectroradiometer
  • Superior reliability in the field with 100%diode array optics with no moving parts
  • Autoshutter, autoexposure, autodark correction before each new scan with no optimization step
  • Lightweight and compact at 8.94 lbs
  • Lightweight, re-chargeable, external Li-ion battery for field use
  • Removable fiber optic cable – field swappable and easy to replace
  • Optional SMA-905 FOV lenses available for increased flexibility
  • Factory calibrated radiance and/or irradiance using NIST traceable source
  • Bluetooth connectivity (Class I)
  • DARWin SP Data Acquisition software for one-touch scanning, automatically saves data as ASCII files for use with 3rd party software without pre-processing
  • Pull-down menus from DARWin for access to USGS library and vegetation indices
