Lawrence, MA – January 17, 2013 – A leader in field portable, full range (UV/VIS/NIR) spectrometers for mobile mineral identification and analysis in both mining exploration and production, SPECTRAL EVOLUTION introduces its benchtop reflectance probe. The probe is ideal for qualitative and quantitative analysis in the core logging shack or the lab. It provides geologists and field researchers with hands-free measurement across the spectral range from 350 – 2500nm.

The benchtop reflectance probe delivers easy to use sample analysis for identifying:

  • Iron oxide minerals
  • Al(OH) group minerals
  • MH4 minerals
  • FE(OH) group minerals
  • Mg(OH) group
  • Carbonate group
  • OH-bearing silicates
  • Selected Zn silicates/phosphates
  • Selected zeolites
  • Selected rare earth element (REE) bearing minerals
  • Selected sulphides

The benchtop reflectance probe features:

  • Hands-free measurement at 350-2500nm
  • “No threading” set up with external SMA-905 port and power connector
  • Built-in 5 watt tungsten halogen source with user-replaceable probe
  • Compatibility with all SPECTRAL EVOLUTION spectrometers
  • Sapphire window for durable performance

The benchtop reflectance probe can be ordered separately or as part of a SPECTRAL EVOLUTION mining bundle. SPECTRAL EVOLUTION’s spectrometers, which include the PSM-3500, SM-3500 and specTERRA deliver mobile mineral analysis from the outcrop to the core shack. These mining spectrometers are:

  • Small and lightweight
  • Full range UV/VIS/NIR with photodiode array detectors
  • Fast with a high signal to noise ratio for better reflectance values
  • Immediate start-up and operation with no optimization step
  • Available for use with a laptop or handheld Getac PS236 PDA for true single user operation
  • Equipped with the benchtop probe or a handheld mineral contact probe
  • Shipped with DARWin SP Data Acquisition software that automatically saves data as ASCII compatible file for use with SpecMIN, GRAMS, or TSG software
