The Aris spectrometer is a laboratory-grade instrument that also meets the size, price and reliability requirements for portable and industrial applications. With its high-throughput optical design it delivers 2 to 4 times better sensitivity than other spectrometers in this price range without sacrificing stray light performance. The Aris is available in 6 standard wavelength ranges that can be customised to the requirements of a specific application. Its powerful microcontroller offers on-board auto exposure, averaging, buffering and sophisticated spectrum processing. With its proven reliability in rough conditions and compact size, the Aris bridges the gap between laboratory and field spectrometers.
