Device concept:
The system is composed of a purely optical sensor head which is connected to the BlueBox TS measurement and control system via an optical fibre connection.
The calculation of parameters is based on remotely transferable calibration algorithms.
Alternatively, users can perform calibrations through an available comprehensive and easy to use software.
All calibration settings and raw spectra are accessible.
The path length can be adjusted between 1 to 30 mm, to optimally adapt the system to the specific application.
