Specim Produces 4000th Spectrograph

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
OULU, Finland, Oct. 28, 2013 — The milestone of producing its 4000th spectrograph shows that hyperspectral imaging is moving from science labs into industrial applications, Specim Spectral Imaging Ltd. said recently.

"This is a significant milestone not only to us, but to the entire hyperspectral industry," said Specim co-founder and sales director Timo Hyvärinen."These 4000 units have paved the road for hyperspectral imaging from science labs to numerous growing industrial applications."

Specim began manufacturing imaging spectrographs used in remote sensing, industry and research in 1996 based on patented technology from the Technical Research Center of Finland (VTT). The 4000th unit that rolled off the production line this fall was an ImSpector N17E NIR spectrograph integrated to a hyperspectral camera for an OEM customer in the plastic sorting industry, the company said.

Specim also makes the AisaFENIX, the first commercial full-spectrum (380 to 2500 nm) push-broom hyperspectral imager to collect data in a single data cube. The device was a finalist for a 2013 Prism Award for photonics innovation in the Detectors, Sensors, Imaging and Cameras category.

Glossary
hyperspectral imaging
Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
machine vision
Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
remote sensing
Remote sensing is a method of data collection and observation where information about objects, areas, or phenomena on Earth's surface is gathered from a distance, typically using sensors onboard satellites, aircraft, drones, or other platforms. This technique enables the monitoring and analysis of Earth's surface and atmosphere without direct physical contact. Remote sensing systems capture electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light, infrared, microwave, or radio waves) reflected or...
spectrograph
An optical instrument for forming the spectrum of a light source and recording it on a film. The dispersing medium may be a prism or a diffraction grating. A concave grating requires no other means to form a sharp image of the slit on the film, but a plane grating or a prism requires auxiliary lenses or concave mirrors to act as image-forming means in addition to the dispersing element. Refracting prisms can be used only in parallel light, so a collimating lens is required before the prism and...
