The accompanying USB Shot software allows for the capture of still images, time-lapse photography, or the creation of QuickTime movies. The company also introduced a portable, fully functioning visible light spectrometer powered by Ocean Optics for physics and chemistry teachers. Priced at $1,199, it connects directly to computers with a standard USB cable and gives precise measurements. Users save time with a one-step calibration of the full spectrum, and the complete visible light spectrum, 380-950 nm, can be collected in a fraction of a second with a resolution of 2 nm. An open curvette holder allows access to the sample during testing. For math teachers, the company now offers Easy Math Deluxe Package, a data collection kit priced at $488 that enables students to study mathematical relationships in realworld phenomena. The package includes EasyLink Interface, CBR (1) (Computer-Based Reference) Reference materials accessible by computer in order to help people do their jobs quicker.
