Description
FS-12 Imaging Hyperspectral Camera With 400-1000nm Wavelength Colorimeter
The FS-12 Imaging Hyperspectral Camera is a high-performance line-scanning hyperspectral imaging system designed to capture detailed spectral data across the 400–1000 nm wavelength range. Manufactured by CHNSpec Technology, this advanced imaging solution is optimized for precise, non-destructive analysis in industries like agriculture, food processing, material sorting, pharmaceuticals, and scientific research.
Using pushbroom (line-scanning) technology, the FS-12 captures spatial and spectral information simultaneously, delivering a high-resolution hyperspectral cube (x, y, λ) that reveals subtle variations invisible to traditional cameras or RGB imaging. The system includes integrated calibration modules and robust data acquisition software to ensure consistent performance in both laboratory and industrial environments.
Its compact structure, wide spectral coverage, and ease of integration with production lines or UAV platforms make it an excellent choice for real-time inspection and classification. Whether used for vegetation analysis, surface inspection, or mineral mapping, the FS-12 empowers researchers and engineers with high-fidelity spectral insights to make informed decisions and automate processes.
