Assessing hyperspectral microscopy in real-time
The FireflEYE 185 brings hyperspectral imaging to microscopy, and also enables endoscopy. In life sciences the time-saving advantage of the snapshot technology (thanks to no-scanning) really makes itself known, as saving time saves patients. The camera can also monitor real-time processes, such as samples in petri dishes for example. The relay lens also allows for a lens change without camera re-calibration. And a close-up lens set allows a macroscopic scale view of a spot size of just a few mm.
For all scenarios
UAS Mapping – The FireflEYE 185 was the first-ever light-weight hyperspectral snapshot camera used for aerial mapping from a UAS. The user has a choice of lenses, enabling different fields of view for different tasks. In lab use the FireflEYE can be equipped with close-up lenses, allowing a macroscopic scale view with a spot size of only a few mm to cm. Attaching a relay lens to the FireflEYE provides for full interchangeability to Cmount lenses. Mount the camera on your microscope or endoscope without the need of an additional calibration. The latest improvements to the FireflEYE include upgrading the main sensor to a modern CMOS sensor. The 14-bit version has 2x higher signal-to-noise-ratio and 4x higher dynamic range compared to the S185 (needing 4 times longer integration times).

The state of the art MCT sensor with cooling down to 150K yields low background noise, high dynamic range, and exceptional SNR levels. With a max frame rate of 400 fps, combined with an aberration-corrected optical system with high optical throughput (f/2), the data quality, speed, and sensitivity is truly state of the art. A wide range of close-up lenses allows the use of the camera at working distances ranging from a few centimeters with a spatial resolution of 53 ?m to infinity e.g. airborne remote sensing. | Specim AFX10 Specim AFX10 is a VNIR hyperspectral imaging solution with an HSI camera, a small and powerful computer and a high-end GNSS/IMU unit in a compact enclosure that can be installed on multiple drone types. | Pika IR-L+ 925 - 1700 nm Lightweight, High-Precision Infrared The Pika IR-L+ imager is a high spatial and spectral resolution Near-Infrared (925-1,700 nm) imager in a lightweight, compact format. It is well suited for field research, yet compatible with all imaging platforms (airborne, benchtop, or outdoor). For a compact, lightweight Visible light spectral range option, please see the Pika L. For higher imaging speeds, please see the Pika IR-L. | HySpex VNIR-3000 N HySpex VNIR-3000 N is developed for field, laboratory, and airborne applications. HySpex VNIR-3000 N utilizes the same spectrograph as the other classical HySpex VNIR models. With a pixel size of 3.45?m, compared to 6. 5?m for VNIR-1800, HySpex VNIR-3000 N will have less than 1.6 pixels per FWHM of the PSF spatially and less than 1.8 bands spectrally, ensuring that narrow band features will be resolved equally for all cameras. With 3000 spatial pixels, 300 bands and a noise floor of 2.4e-, HySpex VNIR-3000N will provide outstanding SNR levels in dark environments. The camera is offered with a USB connection, allowing camera operation from any computer and reducing the cost of supplementing equipment. To visualize that the camera has a wider PSF per pixel and band relative to our normal extremely sharp cameras, we have added an N for Nyquist to the model name. | SWIR SWIR is a high-speed short-wave infrared hyperspectral camera that operates in the 1000-2500 nm range. It has 384 spatial pixels and achieves image rates of up to 400 frames per second using a CameraLink connection. To assure indoor/outdoor usage in varying conditions, it now has rugged weather-proof IP54 casing and temperature-stabilized optics but still uses less power than before, only 50W nominal. Its temperature-stabilized optics provide stability and sensitivity required in the most challenging near-infrared chemical imaging applications, from pharmaceutical quality assurance to food and agriculture analysis. The SWIR camera meets the highest requirements in the lab, industry, and field. |
