Too bad. That was an interesting instrument. I still have two Spectrocam here that I use from times to time. They had interesting software and even allowed access to the internal calibration coefficients. Something X-Rite could have never begin to entertain... or GretagMacbeth, at the time.

It is no longer in the catalog of Avantes and the last time it was available must be more than two years ago. A friend then tried to get a recalibration done and they sold him a new one at a lower price than they initially asked. I do not think there is a wide user base left. In a sense the Xenon lamp etc with continuous spectral output into UV gave it better specs than even the latest X-rite Eye1 models. The electronic circuits inside are however more than a decade old in design not to mention the Xenon flash capacitors that age. My SpectroCam went belly up 3 years ago; unreliable measurements. Avantes has a wide range of scientific spectrometers, another market. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm December 2012: 500+ inkjet media paper white spectral plots. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
