HummingBird Compact OEM UV-Vis Spectrometer
The HummingBird (HB) Series is a compact, high-performance fiber optic spectrometer featuring a crossed Czerny–Turner optical design for high resolution, low stray light (<0.2%), and excellent sensitivity. Equipped with a linear CCD/CMOS array sensor and a 32-bit RISC controller, it delivers fast exposure times (down to 0.2 ms), acquisition rates over 1 kHz, and buffering of up to 4000 spectra. The HB Series combines speed, accuracy, and low power consumption for demanding spectral applications. Designed for easy integration, it offers USB power, six I/O ports, configurable gratings, and wavelength ranges from 180 – 1100 nm, making it ideal for handheld, OEM, and precision analytical instruments.
