Field Spectroradiometers
Field spectroradiometers collect wavelength-resolved optical measurements from vegetation, soils, minerals, water and other targets outside the conventional laboratory. This category will organise compact handheld instruments and broader high-resolution systems for reflectance, radiometric and remote-sensing workflows. Researchers can compare portability, wavelength coverage, spectral resolution, field of view, reference methods and field-data requirements before entering the appropriate subcategory.
Miniature & Handheld Field Spectroradiometers
Full-Range & High-Resolution Field Spectroradiometers
Field spectroradiometry allows researchers to characterise how a target interacts with light at its actual field location. Depending on the selected instrument, optics, calibration and measurement method, a system may support spectral radiance, irradiance or reflectance workflows across visible, near-infrared and shortwave-infrared wavelength regions.
This category separates compact instruments intended for rapid mobile measurements from broader full-range systems intended for research that requires extended wavelength coverage or higher spectral resolution. Final instrument selection should consider the target type, measurement footprint, illumination, reference standard, required spectral region, portability, environmental conditions and data-processing workflow.
