Note: Many entries posted here cite Ocean Optics S1000 Series Spectrometers (S1000/PC1000/PS1000 models). S1000 Series Spectrometers have been replaced by S2000 Series Spectrometers and USB2000 Series Spectrometers, which offer superior performance -- most notably improved sensitivity -- than the S1000 for the vast majority of applications.
