Vernier SpectroVis

The low-cost spectrometer from Vernier

Having an array spectrometer is now affordable for each of your lab stations! SpectroVis is a fully functioning visible spectrophotometer, measuring at 100 wavelengths over a range of 400 nm to 725 nm. Connect SpectroVis to a LabQuest (version 1.1 of LabQuest App) or a computer running Logger Pro (version 3.6 or newer) using a standard USB cable and see the results in full color.

The SpectroVis can be used in your labs to:

• Measure absorbance spectrum of a liquid
• Conduct Beer's law investigations
• Conduct kinetic studies of absorbance vs. time
• Conduct equilibrium studies of absorbance vs. time and/or absorbance vs. concentration
• Measure emissions of gas discharge tubes or other light sources using the SpectroVis Optical Fiber
  (not included)

SpectroVis Features

• Portable: 15 cm x 9 cm x 4 cm
• One-step calibration
• Measures absorbance over a 400 – 725 nm range
• 100 wavelengths, ~3 nm between reported values
• Powered by computer or LabQuest, no additional power source needed
• Software needed (sold separately): Logger Pro 3.6 or newer or LabQuest App on LabQuest (v.1.1 or newer)
• Connects directly to LabQuest or to a computer's USB port

SpectroVis Optical Fiber Accessory

Turn your SpectroVis spectrophotometer into an emissions spectrometer using the SpectroVis Optical Fiber insert. Simply insert the unit into the cuvette holder and point the 1 m optical fiber at a light source. Sold separately.

The best part is the SpectroVis Optical Fiber costs only $69, making it very economical to add emissions experiments to your curriculum.
