SE-590
Spectron Engineering-590 Spectroradiometer

The Spectron Engineering-590 (SE-590) Spectroradiometer is an airborne or ground-based portable spectroradiometer manufactured by Spectron Engineering. SE-590 uses a charge-coupled device (CCD) area array detector to measure reflectance. It operates in the visible/near-infrared to short-wave infrared spectral range (350-2500 nm). SE-590 has a ground resolution of 4.5 meters at a flight altitude of 300 meters.
