ImSpector is a direct sight imaging spectrograph that can be quickly combined with a camera to form a spectral camera. Compared to conventional color cameras and other filter-based imaging systems, ImSpector produces full continuous spectral information with high quality spectral and spatial resolution.

Features & Benefits of Imspector

  • Wavelength ranges between 380 - 1000 nm
  • High spectral resolution
  • long spatial image width
  • Input through C-mount objective lens or multi-channel fibre optics
  • Optional shutter

Both ImSpector Standard and Enhanced series are suited for industrial and scientific applications that require rapid and precise spectral measurements for a low cost.

Specim Imspector Enhanced Series (E)

Specim Imspector (Enhanced Version)

ImSpector E Series provides high quality, astigmatism-free imaging and a high optical throughput that is independent of light polarization. ImSpector E makes a spectral line imaging camera when coupled to a monochrome area camera and an objective lens with a standard C-mount.ImSpector E can be combined with multi-channel fiber optics input, which is capable of measuring several points of a target simultaneously. The amount of channels in a fiber optics version can reach up to several dozen.ImSpector E series meets the requirements when using larger size detectors with more and smaller pixels. These imaging spectrographs are suitable for applications that require high spatial image resolution or simultaneous measurement with large number of optical fibers.

Applications of ImSpector E

  • Spectral machine vision systems for online precise color sorting & quality monitoring (in manufacturing lines)
  • Spectral scanners for use in laboaratory and on the line
  • Spectral imaging systems for light source & display testing
  • Spectral measuring systems for biomedical applications
  • Spectral nicroscope systems
  • Scientific & research applications
  • NIR spectral imaging systems
