Avantes is a leading company in the field of low cost spectroscopy and fiber optic applications. We offer miniature spectrometer systems for on-line measurements and analysis, usually consisting of a light source, fiber optic cables and probes and a spectrometer for the analysis of the light. With these systems you can measure chemical compositions, gather non-invasive medical data, simply determine colors or spectroscopic data in the UV, visible and near infrared regions, and much other physical or optical data. Such data are increasingly used for quality assurance and on-line process control. Avantes gained its experience by:
