MUSES9-MS

Shedding new light to nondestructive analysis with an ultra-wide band spectral imager

The 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 ultra-wide spectral range has proven to be very exceedingly capable in a broad range of applications. 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 option, enabling the direct comparative analysis of the acquired, information-rich dataset.

 

Overview

State of the Art Snapshot Spectral Imager

MUSES9-MS imaging unit is based on the Sony’s IMX992 imaging sensor to cover the entire spectral range 365-1700nm. The camera integrates a spectral band tuning mechanism enabling selection or fully automatic scanning of up to 12 spectral bands. The camera comes with standard and configurable versions. All images captured in this ultrawide spectral range are sharply focused via an internal autofocusing mechanism.

Besides sharp focusing, all images collected are perfectly co-registered and calibrated, thus comprising a perfectly preconditioned data set for subsequent analyses.

Value Proposition

Ultra-Wide Spectral Band

MUSES9-MS sensitivity spans the UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR (365-1700nm) spectral range, allowing for the detection and identification of materials by exploiting and combining a variety of light-matter interaction phenomena occurring in this ultra-wide spectral range. For example, water is largely transparent in the VIS-NIR band, but strongly absorbs light in the 1450nm spectral band, thus providing a means for moisture assessment.

Customizable Modular Design

The standard version of the MUSES9-MS imager comprises a dual sensor, 12 bands configuration. However, the camera is built upon a modular design, allowing for the customization of both spectral range and spectral band number and options. Popular customizations include hardware configurations mimicking satellite cameras for land remote sensing, or configurations suitable for the nondestructive analysis of objects of artistic and historic value. We also offer reduced versions equipped with a single sensor, different band numbers and sensors’ resolution options.
