Leverage the Power of Hyperspectral Microscopy

Fast and accurate acquisition of spectral and spatial data for each sample.

IMA is a hyperspectral microscope delivering spectral and spatial information from 400 nm to 1620 nm in one single instrument. By combining a scientific grade VIS, NIR, and/or SWIR microscope with Photon etc patented imaging filter, extensive optical characterization can be achieved on a wide variety of materials. Our hyperspectral imaging microscope is capable of acquiring millions of data points in a single snapshot and rapidly maps photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence (EL), fluorescence, reflectance, and transmittance.

IMA offers the flexibility to be configured as either a brightfield or a darkfield hyperspectral microscope. Moreover, based on high throughput imaging filters, IMA is a faster and more efficient hyperspectral imaging system than standard point-by-point scanning systems.
