Analytical Spectral Devices was able to commercialize the engine" of SeaSpec. The Dual CCD developed for SeaSpec is used in the FieldSpecO Dual UV/VNIR/CCD. This product is very popular for coastal research. It allows for a small suitcase-sized spectrometer to be placed in a boat and the attached fiber optic cable can be lowered 30 feet below the surface allowing researchers to perform the same studies as SeaSpec just not at the deep-water depths. SeaSpec was designed to withstand harsh marine environments and depths up to 200 m. The first version was released in April 1997."
