Specim IQ

Specim IQ significantly advances hyperspectral imaging, which, until now, required the use of heavy instrumentation and lengthy processing times, often taking hours to days to produce results. Not only is the IQ hyperspectral imaging camera portable, but it is also an all-in-one solution that delivers imaging and results in a single device—instantly. Weighing in at a light 1.3 kg with a generously built-in 4.3” touchscreen display, the camera contains a chargeable battery and memory card for storing captured data, putting an end to the lugging of cumbersome equipment and waiting time that once typified hyperspectral imaging.

The camera-to-go makes it simple to analyze a specimen in its natural environment, rather than trying to move it to a lab for hyperspectral scanning, which is especially important in the case of plant and vegetation analysis. Researchers particularly appreciate the fact that the camera itself contains processing software, which allows for full spectral analysis and classification. Integrated control and data processing means a classification scheme can be applied as good/bad decision instantly, making a quick and easy job of substance analysis on the spot, with no compromise to data quality.
