"My company tried to sell "cheap" (as in ~1000/1500 USD) VIS/NIR spectrometers, but it was very hard to actually find some viable market." You'd have done well

You'd have done well with the mining market if you had your resolution down to 5nm precision. 15nm is just a bit too much of a drift range to allow for reasonably accurate mineral identification.
- joshvm 8y agoInteresting - the system we sell is better than 5nm (depending on the fibre) and is in that price bracket. What's the application in mining?
- lightedman 8y agoSoil sample analysis so you can see if there's specific ores present. Specifically, direct on-site, without the need to go transporting to a lab. IR spectometry is a wonderful thing, look up ASTER and LANDSAT 7/8.
