Working Principle

Description

The SparkFun Triad Spectroscopy Sensor utilizes three AS7265x spectral sensors to detect light across a spectrum from 410nm (UV) to 940nm (IR). It measures 18 different light frequencies with precision, helping in the analysis of how materials absorb and reflect these frequencies. The sensor setup includes visible, UV, and IR LEDs to illuminate the test surfaces, enhancing the accuracy of spectroscopy readings.
