More about the HandHeld 2 Spectroradiometer

Using ASD¡¯s cutting-edge VNIR spectroscopy for real-time non-destructive sampling, the HandHeld 2 revolutionizes measurements by providing truly portable, quickly derived precision reflectance, radiance, and irradiance spectra in a variety of environments.?

• Precision spectral measurements
• Portable and rugged - information where and when you need it
• Real-time, laboratory-quality results
• Non-destructive remotely sensed data

The HandHeld 2 provides the ideal combination of performance, portability, and durability. The HandHeld 2 spectroradiometer employs a high-sensitivity detector array, a low stray light grating, a built-in shutter, DriftLock¢â dark current compensation, and second-order filtering to produce a high signal-to-noise spectrum in under a second.
Field data acquisition is streamlined with imbedded remote sensing software. The results are shown on an integral, high-visibility color display so you are free to collect samples in challenging areas without the worry of carrying a computer.
When connected to a computer, the full range of RS3 spectral data processing features is available.

Designed with an ergonomic dual position ¡°D¡± handle, the HandHeld 2 spectroradiometer is equally convenient for right or left-hand operation. Compact, rugged and light-weight, the HandHeld weighs 1.17 kg (under three pounds) including batteries.

With a wavelength range of 325-1075 nm, an accuracy of ¡¾1 nm and a resolution of <3 nm at 700 nm, the HandHeld 2 delivers unsurpassed performance and helps you expedite fieldwork and reduce errors associated with changing environmental conditions.
