NIREOS GEMINI X Interferometer

Microscopy Hyperspectral Imaging Module

Upgrades any microscope, couples with any sensor*

GEMINI-X Interferometer is the high aperture evolution of the GEMINI Interferometer, specifically designed for hyperspectral imaging in microscopy.

With its 20 mm clear aperture, GEMINI X ensures seamless coupling with large area 2D sensors and is compatible with any microscope camera port. It supports multiple imaging modes, including: transmission, reflectance, and photo & electro luminescence (PL & EL) hyperspectral imaging.

GEMINI X also inherits the full capabilities of the original GEMINI. It can be combined with single pixel detectors and TCSPC cards for time and frequency resolved measurements, as well as Pump Probe, Raman spectroscopy and quantum applications.

*Look at the table below to see the list of supported cameras.

*The standard GEMINI X comes with AR coated optics in the spectral range 400 – 1700 nm. Options to work in the UV or IR ranges available. Contact us for more information.

**GEMINI-X is a FT spectroscopy based instrument and the number of extracted spectral bands can be chosen depending on the needs. Preset scan modes providing different spectral resolutions (and numbers of bands) are available in the Acquisition App software.

The GEMINI-X connects to the microscope dovetail, after the tube lens. Sufficient space must be available between the dovetail and the image focal plane to allow insertion of the GEMINI-X. For more information, contact us at info@nireos.com.
