HIGH SPEED SPECTRAL IMAGING

Oulu - September 2005

SPECIM has released a new revolutionary member in its famous family of ImSpector imaging spectrographs. The new ImSpector Fast10 is a high intensity imaging spectrograph, and makes spectral imaging possible at hundreds and even up to 1500 images per second.

The ImSpector Fast10 imaging spectrograph provides high light throughput and superior image quality. Its unique feature produces the full VNIR spectrum of 400 - 1000 nm over a narrow dimension. It maximizes the light intensity on the camera pixels, allowing short integration times, while still providing good spectral resolution of 10 - 15 nm. Secondly, the spectrum covers only a partial image frame, which can be acquired at very high speeds even in many low cost industrial CCD and CMOS cameras.

ImSpector Fast10 brings spectral imaging to high speed industrial applications, like on line color sorting, and fruit and vegetable inspection. It also takes airborne hyper-spectral imaging to new speed level.
