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™ 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 ±1 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.

HandHeld 2 Pro

The HandHeld 2 Pro offers greater sensitivity for measurements in any application with low reflectance such as water surfaces. Wherever there is a need for improved sensitivity, faster data collection rates or high signal-to-noise ratio, the HandHeld 2 Pro is the hand-held spectroradiometer of choice.

The new Pro version incorporates a 512-element photo-diode array with an area five times larger than the standard HandHeld 2, yielding higher sensitivity. The larger photo-diode array elements allow for scan rates three times faster than a standard FieldSpec HandHeld 2 and provide a 5X improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio.

GPS Capability

Accelerate data collection, simplify location/spectrum correlation and eliminate the need for external location record keeping with a new optional GPS receiver, specifically designed to work with the HandHeld 2. Get additional details about our GPS accessory.
