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 small size and mass make it well suited for airborne applications, where it can provide invisible to the naked-eye contrast of outdoor features. For a compact, lightweight Visible light spectral range option, please see the Pika L. For a higher spectral and spatial resolution version of the Pika IR-L, please see the Pika IR-L+ imager. | Specim FX50 Specim FX50 is the only hyperspectral camera on the market covering the full mid-wave infrared (MWIR) spectral range of 2.7 - 5.3 ?m required, for example, in black plastics sorting. Specim FX50 is a high-speed, accurate, and efficient line-scan hyperspectral camera designed specifically for industrial environments. | HySpex Mjolnir VS-620 For applications requiring low mass, combined with high-performance specifications and scientific grade data quality on the full VNIR-SWIR range, HySpex Mjolnir VS-620 is an ideal solution. Sharing the onboard data acquisition unit and navigation system, HySpex Mjolnir VS-620 is both space-efficient and cost-effective. The VNIR and SWIR optical axis are coaligned in the along-track direction, assuring perfect coregistration in the flight direction. In addition to the high-quality hyperspectral data cube, covering the spectral range from 400 - 2500 nm, with 490 bands, double resolution data in the VNIR range is always readily available. With smile and keystone less than 0.1 pixels for each spectral range, the merged Mjolnir VS-620 data product will have coregistration/keystone better than 0.2 pixels for the full VNIR-SWIR range. | HySpex VNIR-1800 The HySpex VNIR-1800 hyperspectral camera is developed for field, laboratory, and airborne applications. HySpex VNIR-1800 utilizes a cutting edge actively cooled and stabilized scientific CMOS detector. This makes VNIR-1800 the ideal camera for high-end data acquisitions where high radiometric accuracy is required. The dynamic range of 20 000 ensures outstanding SNR levels even in darker areas of an image of highly dynamic scenes. With a max frame rate of 260 fps, combined with aberration-corrected optics and high optical throughput (f/2.5), HySpex VNIR-1800 offers a unique combination of data quality, high speed, and sensitivity. 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 24 ?m to infinity e.g. airborne remote sensing. | 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. |
