Hyperspectral Camera ImSpector
ImSpector and its Application Products
The hyperspectral camera (imaging spectroscope) ImSpector is an epoch-making two-dimensional spectroscope that separates light simultaneously into multiple points on a liner area and it easily measures the spectrum at each of the two-dimensional points by scanning the line.
With two-dimensional spectral analysis, the ImSpector provides new opportunities for production sites as well as areas of study.
How the ImSpector Works
With a special prism and grating structure, the hyperspectral camera (plane spectroscope) ImSpector separates light at each point on a linear area into wavelength ranges. It provides an imaging spectroscope that can detect the wavelength distribution in a linear area with a combination of a normal lens and monochrome two-dimensional camera.
It features the prism-grating-prism (PGP) approach that expands and separates linear light that has passed through a slit to provide spectral analysis based on a planar straight-travel optical system.
