Add a FREE zAP2+ to any Extended Range BLACK-Comet-C-SR or BLACK-Comet-CXR-SR spectrometer or higher priced UV-VIS spectrometer this month. One per customer. While supplies last.
zAP2+ Electronics Upgrade
zAutomation Processor 2 upgrade provides an integrated wireless CPU with WiFi access to spectrometer and/or control of application from any smart phone. Programmable memory allows customization using popular Python language. Once added the spectrometer runs as normal receiving power from the computer’s USB; if 5VDC power is connected directly to the BLACK-Comet the zAP2 CPU initializes and wireless communication begins. zAP2 comes pre-programmed with the latest Spectroscopy Mobile App software and StellarNet Linux Driver set. $550 value!

Research Grade Optical Performance – The BLACK-Comet-SR UV-VIS-NIR spectrometers utilize a Dual Blaze 40mm diameter concave grating with aberration correction to provide the best optical performance of any compact spectrometer on the market.
- Improved spectral shapes by reducing coma and astigmatism found in plane grating spectrograph designs.
- Stray light reduction- The spectrograph architecture does not utilize mirrors, and therefore provides the lowest possible stray light, which is especially helpful for UV applications.
- Enhanced sensitivity- due to the spectrometers ability to reduce light scatter, especially high power UV light, the BLACK-Comet provides two to three times enhanced UV sensitivity as compared to plane grating/Czerny Turner optical configurations.
- Uniform resolution – The concave grating produces a flat field on the CCD detector creating uniform resolution over the entire spectral range.
- Thermal Stability- Optical bench architecture without mounting turrets and optical posts (typically in most USB spectrometers) decreases thermal expansion and contraction and increases overall system performance with temperature change
