Main set-up
The basic system configuration consists of:
- Camera to record the image
- HYPE transmission spectrograph to convert light into its spectral content
- Light source
- X-Cube software to record spectral information
- Envi application to manipulate the spectral data
Optionally, and depending on the application, the following parts can be added to the system:
- Microscope
- Translation stage including a stepper motor to scan over a sample
- Beam splitter and visual camera for easy positioning of the target measurement line on the sample
The camera can either be a state-of-the-art infrared camera or visible range CMOS camera. Xenics offers the following options.
- VIS camera, CMOS based, covering the visible range up to 1100 nm
- NIR camera, InGaAs based, covering the wavelength range from 900 to 1700 nm
- SWIR camera, MCT based, covering the wavelength range from 900 to 2500 nm
- LWIR camera, microbolometer based, covering the wavelength range from 8 to 12 µm
In the hyperspectral imaging microscope, the HYPE spectrograph disperses the light from a target line to the 2D array. The translation stage including a stepper motor allows for scanning the target line over a sample. Combined with X-Cube hyperspectral data manipulation and visualization software, the integrated system provides a powerful tool for versatile hyperspectral microscopy.
