Environmental and Microplastics

Environmental spectroscopy gives researchers practical tools for studying materials and changes in the world around us. StellarNet systems support environmental research ranging from water quality and pollution monitoring to the study of algae and vegetation. Raman spectroscopy can help identify microplastics by revealing the molecular characteristics of individual particles. These measurements can help researchers understand where plastics come from and how they move through environmental systems. With portable spectroscopy options for field measurements and laboratory analysis, StellarNet provides flexible tools for environmental monitoring and research.
