Vernier Spectrometers
Powered by Ocean Optics™
A portable, powerful, precise spectrophotometer. The Vernier Spectrometer, powered by Ocean Optics™ technology, connects directly to your computer with a standard USB cable. It is a fully functioning visible light spectrophotometer giving precise measurements instantly over a range of 380-950 nm.
Works with LoggerPro
The Vernier Spectrometer is controlled by Vernier’s award-winning Logger Pro software. The power of an on-demand visible light spectrophotometer and the unmatched versatility of Logger Pro are melded to deliver a new generation of spectrophotometric analysis to your classroom or academic laboratory.

Accessories
Accessories
Durable, high-quality Optical Fiber assemblies consistently deliver uniform results with minimal signal variance. They connect easily to an Ocean Optics™ or Vernier Spectrometer, 2 m in length, and are used to conduct emission spectrum studies.
400 µm diameter VIS-NIR optical fiber is used with V-SPEC, SPRT-VIS, ESRT-VIS, or SP-VIS models.
400 µm diameter UV-VIS optical fiber is used with SP-UV-VIS model only.
A package of 100 3.5 mL cuvettes (with 20 lids) can be purchased to replace the cuvettes included with some spectrometer models (V-SPEC, SPRT-VIS, SP-VIS, and SP-UV-VIS).
Free Downloadable Activities
Vernier has six lab experiments posted on our web site for use with the Vernier Spectrometer. These labs will introduce your students to the common use of a spectrometer, from the classic Beer's law to emissions from discharge tubes, to a novel look at theatrical lighting filters.
