HERA IPERSPETTRALE is a compact and rugged camera that enables an innovative approach to spectral imaging.
With its unique and patented technology based on time-domain Fourier Transform (FT) detection, HERA provides exceptional spatial-spectral resolution and superior sensitivity in low-light illumination conditions.
HERA is based on a Fourier Transform (FT) approach: the data-cube is acquired in the time-domain, by step-scanning a compact ultra-stable interferometer in front of the CMOS sensor.
The software then automatically computes an FT at each and every pixel of the image, providing the final hyperspectral data-cube.
As a result of an FT, the spectrum at each pixel is a continuous curve, so the number of bands is virtually unlimited, not defined by the hardware.
As in any other FT techniques, the spectral resolution is not constant as a function of the wavelength. Also, the spectral resolution can be simply varied via software: at each measurement, you can decide whether to acquire a high spectral resolution-image, or – if not required – a faster and lower spectral resolution-image.
Regardless of this choice, the exceptional light throughput is not affected, thanks to the FT approach.
Thanks to the absence of aperture slits and gratings, and to the 1 cm Clear Aperture, HERA is specifically designed to provide an extremely high light throughput, making it the ideal device for low light conditions or delicate samples.

It is an excellent tool for industrial and scientific applications. The Specim FX10 operates in the 400-1000 nm region, and the color-optimized Specim FX10c in the 400-780 nm region. | 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. | 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. | HySpex Baldur S-384 N Baldur S-384 N covers the spectral range from 960-2500 nm. 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-384 N is better than 1.5 pixels, yielding a very sharp camera. | Fenix FENIX is optimized for the most demanding geological, law enforcement, and environmental applications. In a single continuous image, FENIX spectral camera delivers the best hyperspectral data ever seen over VNIR, NIR, and SWIR wavelengths. FENIX offers extreme ruggedness and 75% reduction in size and weight compared to previous multi-sensor systems. The excellence in technical performance and physical size has been achieved through innovative and unique ?single optics dual spectrograph? design. |
