Spectabit Optics, LLC was founded as a spinoff by two MetroLaser senior scientists and provides new technologies for digital aero-optic imaging, primarily using the schlieren effect. The firm manufactures spectroscopic and optical instruments such as Analog Schlierenscope, a galvanometer-based digital schlieren streak camera, and digital focusing schlieren imaging (DFS) system. Analog Schlierenscope is a licensed product available from Spectabit Optics. DFS system is a patent-pending complementary technology to the analog Schlierenscope.
