EUROPEAN RELIABILITY
Global Professional support
without borders.
In the world of optical measurement, precision does not end after the purchase. Instruments must remain accurate, reliable and supported throughout their entire lifecycle. Yet many professionals experience a different reality when sourcing equipment from overseas suppliers. Calibration requests become complicated, repairs take months and communication becomes a barrier rather than a solution.
OBSIDIAN WAS BUILT TO ELIMINATE THESE FRUSTRATIONS.
As a European company with multilingual communication and a strong regional presence, we ensure that every customer has direct access to support, service and expertise without crossing continents. Our offices and technical teams in Europe provide a level of accessibility, accountability and speed that international manufacturers simply can’t match.

“True precision isn't only
measured in nanometers, but in
the quality of service that stands
behind every instrument.“
CLARITY IN
EVERY WAVELENGTH
At OBSIDIAN, we bring scientific precision and intuitive design together to deliver clear, reliable insight into light. Our spectrometers are developed in house and engineered for accuracy,
stability and ease of use, allowing professionals to move from measurement
to understanding with confidence.
Robust hardware, advanced sensors and continuous firmware development ensure long term performance in demanding environments. Modular platforms, detachable wireless sensors and flexible connectivity make our instruments equally suited for research,
fieldwork and industrial applications.
With open data, platform independent reporting and close collaboration with
universities and industry partners worldwide, OBSIDIAN helps professionals see
beyond numbers and achieve true clarity in every wavelength.

PG400i UV | PLANT GROW
Full spectrum insight
for advanced horticulture.
“Measures ultraviolet and visible wavelengths simultaneously.”
FROM VISIBLE LIGHT TO THE COMPLETE UV SPECTRUM
As horticulture continues to evolve, so does the understanding of how
light influences plant physiology. Beyond the visible spectrum,
ultraviolet radiation plays an increasingly important role in
crop quality, morphology, secondary metabolite production
and plant defense mechanisms. The PG400i UV was developed
to meet this growing demand for deeper spectral insight.
The PG400i UV is the successor to the PG300i and
extends its capabilities by combining VIS and UV
measurements into a single, unified instrument.
With a sensor wavelength range from 220
nanometers to 800 nanometers, the PG400i UV
captures both ultraviolet and visible light in one
continuous measurement.
