Image four shows a burst of spectra that was taken and the time in-between each spectra. Slit width: 25 microns, Fiber diameter: 1 micron, Maximum counts: 65535, Wavelength range: 190.71-909.38nm, Detector type: Hamamatsu S11639-01 (10MHz).

Ocean Insight (Ocean Optics) Insight OceanFX High Speed Miniature Spectrometer configured for 190.71–909.38 nm, built for fast UV-VIS-NIR acquisition and burst capture when you cannot afford to miss transient spectral events. OceanFX combines a high-speed CMOS linear array detector with onboard buffering (up to 50,000 timestamped spectra) and high throughput (up to 4,500 spectra/second; 10 µs-10 s integration time), making it a strong fit for both lab R&D and process environments; especially when you need rapid time-series spectra, flicker/event measurement, triggered acquisition, or production-line QA. This unit is tested working; photos show a burst acquisition and the recorded timing between spectra.
