The non-refundable fee for evaluating an out-of-warranty repair on an Ocean Insight (formerly Ocean Optics) spectrometer has increased dramatically. Vernier is no longer facilitating these returns.
If you aren't sure whether your Ocean Insight spectr...
If your spectrometer isn’t calibrating or is showing unusually noisy or high absorbance values (often above 3 or blank), the issue may be due to insufficient light reaching the detector. This happens when:
The light source is weak in a certain...
Ocean Optics spectrometers, including Vernier Spectrometer (V-SPEC) need to be on a recent firmware version to work with Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10. Units with firmware older than 2007 will need a firmware update before they can connect to...
