MUSES9-MS spectral camera addresses the need for combining spectral information from UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR, as a means for advancing the imaging and analytical capabilities of spectral imaging. Spectral imaging in this ultrawide spectral range has been proved to be very informative in a broad range of applications. Satellite cameras (AVIRIS, SENTINEL I & II) is a typical example of spectral imagers covering such a broad spectral range, with certain imaging bands being dedicated to specific identification/quantification targets.
Unlike satellite imaging, commercial spectral cameras are dedicated to operate within certain fractions of the 365-1700nm range, due to the restricted spectral sensitivity range of the available imaging sensor chips. This implies that more than one spectral imager is required if one wants to cover this wavelength range. However, this option is very costly, is of high volume and weight and the direct comparison of the spectral imaging data is far from being a straightforward process.
MUSES9-MS is an all in one spectral camera operating in the 365-1700nm spectral range. It effectively addresses the demand for an integrated, low cost, volume and weight, enabling the direct comparative analysis of the acquired, information-rich dataset.
