Specim SWIR (1000-2500 nm)

It features temperature-stabilized optics which provide the stability and sensitivity needed for demanding chemical imaging applications such as pharmaceutical quality assurance, and food and agriculture analysis.

The Specim SWIR offers the highest SNR in the industry, benefiting applications such as geological/mineral imaging and general research. It’s F number of 2, combined with larger pixels results in an overall more sensitive camera.

The SWIR camera is compatible with Specim’s LUMO data acquisition software, and resulting datacubes are ENVI-compatible, allowing further hyperspectral data processing and analysis.

Six different lens options are available with different FOV, including a macro lens option.
