Telelumen at Mt. Fuji Summit, GOT IT!
Congratulations to John Giddings of Telelumen.com, Grand Prize Winner of the 2011 Ocean Optics Video Contest. In his video, John completes an epic solo expedition to the summit of Mt. Fuji. The expedition was extremely difficult, both physically and logistically but after two days of climbing and a race with the sunrise, John was able to trigger the USB4000 just three minutes before Sunrise. To our knowledge, such a recording has never been made before. For more information on Ocean Optics spectrometers, visit http://oceanoptics.com.
