Founded in 1989, Ocean Optics is the inventor of the world’s first miniature spectrometer—a scientific-grade tool for measuring the effects of light on matter. Since then, the company has redefined spectroscopy and serves virtually every industry from education and medicine to process and manufacturing. Owned by Halma PLC, Ocean Optics operates independently within the environmental and analysis sector. Like Ocean Optics, the companies within this sector make products and technologies for analysis in safety, life sciences, and environmental markets.
