Vegetation reflectance from leaf to canopy level: Single & dual channel spectral analysis systems

Our "UniSpec" range of products (UniSpec-SC and UniSpec-DC) have become the industry standard for measurement of reflectance from individual leaves to whole canopies and large transects. Our customers are made up of research scientists and students from universities and colleges, government research institutes and research laboratories throughout the world. Our instruments have been used in some of the harshest environments around the world and their track record speaks for itself.

Systems can be supplied with the following detectors:

190-380nm (UV)
190-730nm (UV/VIS)
310-1100nm (VIS/NIR)

 

Common System Features

  • High precision spectrometer(s) (NO re-calibration necessary)
  • Modular foreoptic system (fiber optics, FOV lens, etc.) for measurement on a wide variety of leaf types (including fine needles) and other vegetation.
  • Lightweight & field portable (1.7 kg.)
  • High insensitivity to mechanical shock
  • Rugged, aluminum enclosure including carrying case
  • Powerful user interface with large graphical display (7.2" VGA color, transflective display optimized for field use), hot keys, navigation keys, touchpad and keypad for user inputs.
  • RS232 and USB ports
  • PCMCIA slot for unlimited data storage
  • Powerful software for data acquisition and analysis of spectral data with advanced mathematical functions. Software capable of calculating commonly measured indices such as NDVI, mNDVI, PRI, WBI, Summed Green Reflectance and Red/green Ratio.
  • Economically priced

--- Attention UniSpec Users (older instruments) ---

The original UniSpec System is no longer being manufactured and has since been replaced by the UniSpec-SC.  However, we remain committed to all UniSpec customers when it comes to support and service. If you have any questions related to your older instrument, please email us at support@ppsystems.com.  Product updates, latest documentation and software are available to all registered users in the Registered Users Area.  Also, since the termination of the HP Palmtop PC, we introduced a nice little upgrade for older UniSpec's that includes a replacement PDA computer and associated software.  Click here for more details.
