1. Hyperspectral Imaging Camera From HORIBA Scientific

2. Technology based on 2-dimensional transmission and computational image reconstruction

3. Consider looking at fluorescent beads such as these under a microscope Beads look yellowish because the emission peaks at ~584nm. With a broad emission in the visible

4. Hyperspectral imaging camera takes an image that looks like this Image taken through a 2d transmission grating that produces several diffraction orders in both directions – with the zeroth order undistorted image in the center of the frame

5. Produces hyperspectral image cube through mathematical image reconstruction Image Cube: So-called because each z-intercept wavelength of the cube (in this case green) is the spectral content of the original image at that wavelength. Spatial Resolution: approximately 200x300 pixels - adjustable Spectral Coverage: 400nm-800nm - adjustable Spectral Resolution: typically 5nm - adjustable (60-80 images per cube) (λ)(λ) Every Pixel has associated Spectrum

6. Perform Imaging and Spectroscopy in one shot Taken in as little as 3ms

7. Application Characteristics Needs or would benefit from performing both imaging and spectroscopy Measurement of transient phenomena Portability -> Field work Affordable spectral imaging solution
