HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING CAMERAS


WHAT IS HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING?

The basic hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique creates a spatial map of spectral features that enables identification of material components and their spatial distribution. Therefore, it can find objects, identify the distribution of materials, and detect process values of performance. 

As a result, hyperspectral imaging has become one of the key analytical tools in a range of industries, for example - evaluating food products, their authentication, and security. The reason for this is that the spectral features are a “fingerprint” of the material and spectral imaging part demonstrates where that material is and with appropriate calibration the signal can be used to determine the concentration of the material present. This has allowed HSI to be developed to be a fast, reliable technique, suitable for objective automated quality assessments.

Quality is not just about a single parameter, but is a combination of many parameters, especially in food assessment. It is here that optical spectroscopy and especially hyperspectral imaging has been very successful as it is non-destructive, non-contact, and can determine several parameters at the same time, and indeed can provide immediate responses.


CLYDEHSI HYPERSPECTRAL CAMERAS


VNIR-S
(400 to 1000nm)

With a 8nm FWHM optical spectral resolution and covering the VNIR spectral range (400 to 1000nm) this cost effective, entry level hyperspectral camera is suitable for a wide range of research, field, and industrial applications requiring reasonable spectral resolution across the visible to very near infrared spectral range.

Perfect hyperspectral camera for production line applications in the 400-1000nm spectral range.


VNIR-HR 
(400 to 1000nm) 

High spectral resolution (≤ 3nm FWHM) and significantly higher optical throughput than the VNIR-S hyperspectral camera: the spectral camera of choice for many research and high-speed applications in the VNIR spectral range that require the best hyperspectral imaging performance.

Excellent smile and keystone performance ensure excellent spectral imaging performance across the range. Perfect hyperspectral camera for art science/conservation and forensic applications.

NIR-HR
(950 to 1700nm)

High spectral resolution (≤5nm FWHM), good spatial resolution and high frames rates enable measurements in the NIR spectral range (950 to 1700nm) at high speed.

Highly versatile, ideal for a wide range of scientific and industrial process applications in the NIR spectral range.

Perfect hyperspectral camera for production line applications in the 950-1700nm spectral range.


NIR-HR+
(950 to 1700nm)

With double the spatial resolution of the NIR-HR hyperspectral camera, but without sacrificing frame rates, this is the ideal hyperspectral camera for demanding applications in the NIR spectral range that require improved spatial resolution while maintaining high speed data acquisition.

Ideal for applications where both speed and quality of data is paramount. Perfect hyperspectral camera for art science/conservation and forensic applications.


SWIR-384
(900- 2500nm)

Hyperspectral camera operating upto the SWIR spectral range - 2,500nm - with high frame rates.

Ideal for samples that need the extra spectral range than achieved with the NIR-HR and NIR-HR+ hyperspectral cameras.

A perfect hyperspectral camera option for art science/conservation applications.


RAMAN-532
(520-635 nm)

 The new generation of Raman hyperspectral cameras. 
Ultra high resolution (≤ 2.5nm FWHM) hyperspectral imaging camera with electron multiplying CCD detector, ensuring highest possible spectral and sensitivity performance.

Already deployed in both forensic and art cultural heritage applications, Raman-532 provides detailed Raman spectral fingerprints of materials in a non-invasive, non-destructive manner. Ideal for all applications requiring the highest possible precision and resolution.


ABOUT CLYDEHSI CAMERAS


The choice of hyperspectral camera is an important one and is largely determined by the needs of the application, for example by spectral range, spatial resolutions, frame rates, as well as by available light budget and importantly by cost.


ClydeHSI manufacture push-broom (line-scan) hyperspectral imaging cameras of high spatial and spectral purity and measurement systems that are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from scientific research to industrial inspection tasks. These hyperspectral cameras measure a line image one line at a time and register spatial position across the line while simultaneously recording the optical spectrum at each spatial position.


Push-broom scanning is well suited for industrial inspection tasks at high-speed and can also be used in scientific tasks using one of our motorised scanner solutions.


At ClydeHSI our responsibility does not simply end at selling a hyperspectral camera - we value the opportunity to comprehensively support our customers for all of the components needed to deploy a hyperspectral camera in real world applications: light sources, fully compatible objective lenses, complete hyperspectral scanning solutions, high-level user and OEM SDK software as well as technical support and training packages.
