Analysis of tissue through spectral imaging for biomedical and life science applications
Largo, Fla. (July 26, 2016) – Multispectral imaging and sensing manufacturer, PIXELTEQ, introduces the SpectroCam™ VIS-SWIR 640 multispectral imaging camera. The new SpectroCam is ideal for SWIR imaging in tissue and biologic material analysis for medical and forensics applications. The device identifies different types of tissue based on their unique spectral fingerprints. By comparing the various narrow band spectral images, users can detect anomalies in the tissue that are invisible to the human eye.
The SpectroCam VIS-SWIR 640 allows for real-time display of the filtered image and gives users the flexibility to choose and install different optical filters. It features an InGaAs sensor for increased sensitivity, full frame 640 x 512 pixel resolution, a 15µm pixel pitch, and can produce live processed images of six spectral bands at a rate of up to 25 frames per second. The lightweight, portable camera is powered by easy-to-use software, allowing users to complete initial setup in minutes.
In addition to the new SpectroCam, PIXELTEQ has expanded its selection of SWIR filters. The new filters are available in mounted versions for the SpectroCam filter wheel, and in custom round or rectangular formats for customers’ specific application needs. The PIXELTEQ team of application engineers is available to discuss design requirements for custom jobs, or customers can browse a selection of stock filters at the PIXELTEQ Optical Filter Shop website www.opticalfiltershop.com.
