Description
The Ocean Optics Apex 784 Raman Spectrometer includes the linear, back-thinned, FFT-CCD-array
detector from Hamamatsu (product number S11510-1106) in an optical bench with all the circuits
necessary for spectrometer operation. The result is a high-resolution, high-sensitivity scientific
instrument for low-light level applications such as 785 nm Raman analysis and fluorescence. For

The Apex Spectrometer electronics have been designed for USB connection to various accessories and
receives power from a computer through its USB interface. The Apex is a microcontroller-controlled
spectrometer, thus all operating parameters are implemented through software interfacing to the unit.
