SR-6500 Ultra High Resolution Spectroradiometer

The SR-6500 NIR spectroradiometer covers the UV/VIS/NIR range from 350-2500 nanometers. It features ultra-high resolution and very stable performance with three high density thermoelectrically cooled photodiode arrays. The SR-6500 is also calibrated to NIST-traceable radiometric calibration standards.

Applications of SR-6500 Spectroradiometer

  • Mineral identification and analysis where resolution can help to distinguish
    between minerals with very similar spectra or to unmix and identify minerals in trace amounts.
  • Soil studies for the identification of different soil characteristics, clay types,
    presence or absence of nutrients and moisture.
  • Vegetation studies for plant stress/health, over-fertilization, species
    identification and more.
  • Lab applications such as materials identification, etc.
  • Solar radiance and irradiance research.
  • Microbial diversity research
