Remote sensing full-range spectroradiometer

Spectral Evolution develops full-range UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers and spectroradiometers, which are used worldwide for a wide range of laboratory and field tasks. The instruments of Spectral Evolution have a 100% photodiode array construction; light signals are stored simultaneously in memory, resulting in a faster scan time and highly accurate and reproducible data. The instruments maximize signal-to-noise ratios, due to the optimized monochromator and software that automatically optimizes for each scan; manual optimization and data loss are a thing of the past.

The NaturaSpec is the latest, lightweight and portable spectroradiometer from Spectral Evolution. This high-end model combines high resolution with high sensitivity and has no less than three high-density photodiode array detectors. The Natura Spec is ideally suited for remote sensing applications and in-situ field measurements, due to the compact Li-ion batteries and high data quality.

Specific applications in the agricultural industry:

• Crop health: Detect plant stress by measuring chlorophyll and water levels. Analyze the "red edge" to identify stressors early.
• Moisture analysis: Measure leaf and soil moisture to optimize irrigation management.
• Soil quality: Assess the chemical composition of soil samples to monitor fertility.
• Nutrient analysis: Analyze nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) to fine-tune fertilizer applications.
• Disease and pest detection: Identify reflectance anomalies that indicate disease or pest infestation.
