SpectroClip includes the following models:
Model Purpose Included Equipment Other Recommended
Equipment*
SpectroClip-R Collects reflected light from
the sample One integrating sphere Spectrometer, one light
source, two fibers
SpectroClip-TR Collects both transmitted
and reflected light from the
sample
Two integrating spheres Two spectrometers (or
one 2-channel Jaz), one
light source, three fibers
Jaz-SpectroClip-TR Performs transmission and
reflectance characterization
of (thin) samples in the field
Two integrating
spheres; a Jaz
spectrometer (400 –
1000 nm) with two
spectrometer channels,
a tungsten-halogen light
source module, and a
battery module; 3 fibers,
and the Spectro-Clip-TR
probe N/A
* Fibers are sold separately. The recommend fiber core is 600 µm or larger because of the attenuation of
the sphere.
