Ocean Optics - Inventor of the World's First Miniature Spectrometer

PinPointer Raman Spectroscopy

The PinPointer delivers a full-featured Raman spectroscopy system in a remarkably affordable, true handheld format. The lightweight unit is controlled by a pocket-sized computer and features easy-to-use RSIQ software for fast point-and-click operation.

An optional software add-on, RSIQ-QUAL provides one-touch identification of unknown substances by immediate comparison of a measured spectrum on the onboard Raman spectral library.

Easy and Fast Substance Identification

Many substances emit a characteristic light when illuminated with a laser, the so-called Raman effect, that uniquely identifies molecular structure. With a touch of a button, the PinPointer collects this emitted light scattered from a targeted object. Optional RSIQ-QUAL software will search thousands of stored reference material spectra to identify unknown substances. Within seconds, the detected chemicals are identified and displayed to the system user.

Affordable, Compact, High Performance

The PinPointer provides the same performance as other handheld Raman spectrometers aimed at homeland security or on-site chemical identification but costs thousands less.

Extensive Spectral Library

The RSIQ-QUAL software database covers most organic and inorganic substances encountered in the field by law enforcement, first responders and homeland security personnel. A specialized chemical database can be added upon request. Users can also create their own custom spectral libraries.

Substance Identification of Packaged Materials

Solid, powder or liquid samples can be analyzed while still contained in plastic bags or glass or plastic bottles.
