Pacer International is offering Photon etc's Hyperspectral Imager, which is intended to change a customer's view of spectral analysis.
The Hyperspectral Imager is said to give the customer complete information on his or her target or sample with full-resolution images at any wavelength.
The benefits of this compact and portable imager include high resolution, high versatility, a choice of cameras from high speed to high sensitivity and real-time image viewing.
Using a patented design based on volume Bragg gratings, the Hyperspectral Imager delivers a series of monochromatic images at user-specified wavelengths.
This optimised hyperspectral cube allows for the spectral analysis of each and every pixel of a full-resolution image.
More than a simple increase in efficiency, getting both the spectral and spatial content will allow users to perform completely new analyses and push the limits of demanding applications.
Photon etc's technology offers a narrow spectral bandwidth (more than or equal to 0.3 nm FWHM), up to 60 per cent efficiency (unpolarised) and an operating range of 400nm to 2.3um.
The Hyperspectral Imager will boost imaging performance for Raman imaging, biomedical imaging (burns, wounds and bruises), photoluminescence imaging, counterfeit detection, photovoltaic analysis, pharmaceutical research, biothreat detection, forensic detection, gas leak imaging, food processing (vegetable cover monitoring) and astronomy (faint galaxy observation).
