NEW in Optics: The LED AC-S

We are more than ecstatic to announce the release of the NEW LED AC-S Spectral Absorption and Attenuation Sensor. It is the first of its kind, and a standalone transmissometer in the market.

The AC-S provides in-situ optical data of beam transmission and absorption over a minimum of 75 wavelengths in real-time. From climate modeling and ocean color validation, to carbon cycling, this broad spectrum attenuation sensor, with its new LED installation, will enable you to gather more data without it leaving the water, allowing you to make the most informed decisions. AC-S is the top tier optical instrument SBS produces, and one that has no equal in the market.
