Working Principle
All the HERA hyperspectral cameras are based on a Fourier Transform (FT) approach: the data-cube is acquired in the time-domain, by step-scanning our compact ultra-stable interferometer in front of the bidimensional sensor. The software then automatically computes an FT at each and every pixel of the image, providing the final hyperspectral data-cube.
As a result of an FT, the spectrum at each pixel is a continuous curve, so the number of bands is virtually unlimited, not defined by the hardware.
Hyperspectral in action
Hyperspectral imaging unveils details invisible to the human eye, revolutionizing research and industry alike.
From analyzing artifacts and artworks to advancing the semiconductor industry, this powerful technology ensures precise identification and classification. Whether detecting counterfeit drugs with unmatched accuracy or sorting plastics for efficient recycling, hyperspectral imaging transforms how we understand and interact with the world around us.

Easy coupling with microscopes
The HERA can be easily connected to the camera port of any microscope (upright or inverted), through the Microscope Adapter that we provide.
Once connected, the HERA can measure hyperspectral images at a microscopic scale, in reflectance, transmittance or fluorescence geometry, without the need of any special calibration procedure.
