Anyone who has purchased and pondered the lab spectrometer products offered by Ocean Optics, Miteq and others, will find the latest from Hamamatsu to be thought provoking. Hamamatsu is releasing a new miniature spectrometer for visible and limited near infrared wavelengths with a 15 nm resolution. The small package and ready-to-go nature of this product will commend its integration into low SWAP products benefitting from spectral cues for imaging application, including the smart camera assemblies we develop.
