Hyperspectral Imaging Sensors

SSSC has championed spectral imaging technologies since 1994 with innovative, high-throughput optical systems designed to advance the state-of-the-art in research and development.
  • Chromo-Tomographic Hyperspectral Imaging System (CTHIS)
  • High optical through-put (no slits or color wheels)
  • Based on a spinning direct-vision prism
  • Uses mathematical computation to generate hyperspectral image cube, similar to CT or CAT technology
