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).

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. | HySpex Baldur S-640i N Baldur S-640i N covers the spectral range from 950-1730nm. All Baldur cameras are Nyquist cameras giving a spectral resolution of 2 spectral bands while capturing 4 times as much light as the classic systems. To ensure that the most information per framerate is provided, the spectral resolution is kept very close to 2 bands. Additionally, the spatial resolution of Baldur S-640i N is better than 1.5 pixels, yielding a very sharp camera. | Pika IR-L 925 - 1700 nm Lightweight Infrared The Pika IR-L is a lightweight and compact Near-Infrared (925-1,700 nm) imager. 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. | HySpex Mjolnir V-1240 The HySpex Mjolnir V-1240 hyperspectral imaging system for UAVs provides a unique combination of small form factor and low mass, combined with high-performance specifications and scientific grade data quality. With a weight of less than 4 kg and less than 50 W power consumption, HySpex Mjolnir V-1240 is very well suited for a wide range of UAVs. The system is also compatible with several off-the-shelf gimbals. NEO offers high-performance unmanned aerial vehicles, fully integrated with the HySpex Mjolnir V-1240. The UAV is fitted with a standard battery package allowing up to 30 minutes of flight time. All HySpex Mjolnir systems can also be mounted on a tripod and rotation stage for ground use. | Pika L 400 - 1000 nm Lightweight, Compact VNIR The Pika L is a lightweight, compact hyperspectral camera that covers the Visible + Near-Infrared (VNIR) spectral range. It is our most popular imager for remote sensing applications. The Pika L can be used in our airborne, laboratory, and outdoor hyperspectral systems, as well as standalone or integrated into your system. |
