Headwall Photonics has announced the availability of the Hyperspec Extended VNIR sensor, a hyperspectral imaging instrument covering the spectral region of 600 to 1,600 nanometres.
Sensor performance has been optimised for process inspection applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and food safety and quality.
Based on Headwall's aberration-corrected concentric design, Hyperspec offers spectral imaging and spatial uniformity within a wide field of view.
The Hyperspec platform offers sensors optimised for the following spectral regions: UV-VIS - 330 to 825nm; VIS - 380 to 825nm; VNIR - 400 to 1,000nm; extended VNIR - 600 to 1,600nm; near infrared - 900 to 1,700nm; and short wave IR - 1,000 to 2,500nm.
In addition, Headwall offers broad hyperspectral capabilities for military and defence applications that include very high efficiency, diamond-turned optics and very small imaging sensors (the Micro-Hyperspec product line) for deployment on small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles.
