NaturaSpec Plus
Spectral Evolution – NIR
Identify minerals in the field
The NaturaSpec™ Plus is built for remote-sensing professionals who need complete confidence in their measurements. It removes the guesswork typically involved in determining field of view and aligning targets.
Along with spectral data, the instrument streams live video of what the fiber optic or lens attachment actually sees. Each measurement captures an image of the viewing area, plus angle, distance to the target, and GPS location.
The NaturaSpec™ Plus is the ultimate instrument to build high-resolution libraries and to push the limits of spectral analysis for remote sensing applications.

NaturaSpec Plus Features:
- Field Swappable Internal Battery
- Smart Power Switch
- Quick release fiber optic mount.
- Ergonomic grip for comfort and control by increasing support at the palm.
- A built-in inclinometer that allows the user to monitor scan angles and notifies the user when they are at nadir, so they know it’s ok to scan.
- A built-in camera for real-time targeting and capturing what is being scanned.
- Ultrasonic distance sensor measures the distance from the target and automatically shows the viewer the exact target area, accounting for field-of-view.
- Trigger activation to start a scan.
