Custom software and the patented curved reflective surface in this spectrometer reduce instrument size and focus light so well that inexpensive LEDs replace expensive light sources.

This portable, durable, inexpensive florescence spectrometer has a variety of potential applications, including the following:

• Secondary education, where important STEM topics may not be adequately addressed because spectroscopy instruments are too expensive to purchase and maintain.
• Field research in which technicians are required to transport water or soil samples to a lab for spectroscopy analysis, adding time and complication .
• Remote sensor applications where data collection may be limited due to spectrometer power and durability limitations.
