Oxygen sensor.


Ocean Optics, Inc. has introduced the Foxy-Lite, a hand-held oxygen sensor An oxygen sensor is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under supervision by Dr. Günter Bauman.  that uses time-resolved fluorometry fluorometry /flu·o·rom·e·try/ (fldbobr-rom´e-tre) an analytical technique for identifying and characterizing minute amounts of a substance by excitation of the substance with a beam of ultraviolet light and detection and measurement of  and sol-gel based optical sensing optical sensing, in general, any method by which information that occurs as variations in the intensity, or some other property, of light is translated into an electric signal. This is usually accomplished by the use of various photoelectric devices.  technology to calculate oxygen concentration. This sensor has a response time of less than one second and can be used in applications, such as packaging and fuel tank headspace head·space
