Description
The SOC710 hyper-spectral imaging system is a high-precision instrument that uses a low-noise, high-speed acquisition silicon-based CCD as a high-quality spectrometer in the 400-1000 nm range; it features an integrated scanning system, and image collection and analysis software. The SOC710 can record hyper-spectral images at a rate of 4 megabytes of data per second (128 band elements per second at 12-bit resolution, 520 pixels per line, up to 33 lines per second). In order to obtain well-defined reflectance spectra over the entire spectral range, photographic halogen lamps are normally used as light sources, although the instrument can also be used in ambient light conditions by appropriately adjusting exposure and signal integration times. To obtain hyper-spectral fluorescence images, the examined surface is illuminated with monochromatic LEDs emitting at 405 nm.
