The Olis^® Hummingbird Series

Tiny. Fast. Precise.

Used in all new Absorbance, Fluorescence, and Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometers

Hand-Made Alternatives to Mass-Marketed Appliances Tiny, fast, precise, and built for you.

The Olis Hummingbird was introduced in October, 2005. This all-new monochromator earned its name, the "Hummingbird," for its small size and high precision. Its acquisition rate can reach 20 MHz (20,000,000 readings per second). Its precision is effectively perfect.

Developed initially for laser photolysis absorbance and quickly recognized as perfect for UV CD, the Hummingbird was first used in a scanning spectrofluorimeter in February 2006. Raman, ORD, LD, and other types of spectrometers will follow.

The Olis Hummingbird systems are each made by hand. Every component is of the highest quality. There are no plastic or breakable components. The mirrors and gratings are cemented in position within the 0.65 cm thick sheet metal chassis. All electronics are housed in a separate control box for easy access during diagnose or repair.

The Olis SpectralWorks control software is far more useful and comprehensive than what typical instrument manufacturers provide: It is the power behind the electronic simplicity, reliability, and modularity of Olis instruments. And, the Olis software is behind the instantaneous data presentation and analysis power.
