Specim FX Series Hyperspectral Imaging Cameras
High Performance, Compact Hyperspectral Imaging Cameras
Specim is a pioneer and world leader in hyperspectral imaging instrumentation. With a hyperspectral imaging camera from Specim you will have spectral information at each and every pixel of your image. All the cameras from Specim operate according to the push-broom technique, meaning that the target is imaged line by line to build up the full 2D image. Specim have instruments designed to operate in specific discrete bands across the VIS-IR spectrum (400 nm to 12 µm).
Specim’s instruments are suited for a whole host of applications including remote sensing, geology, food quality, plastic sorting, online inspection and colour measurement. Additionally, the instruments are extremely versatile, and in most cases the same camera can be configured for use in the lab, field or sky.

FEATURES
- All cameras based on push-broom (line scan) technology
- Spectral ranges from the VIS to the LWIR
- Suitable for operation in the lab, field or sky

The FX10 is a compact, lightweight, cost-effective hyperspectral camera for the VNIR spectral range (400-1000 nm). F/1.7 optics enables excellent light throughput, high sensitivity, short integration times and high signal-to-noise ratio. The FX10 operates with an impressive frame rate of 330 fps (full frame) using 1024 spatial pixels and 220 spectral bands. By reducing the number of spectral bands, the frame rate can be increased up to 9,900 fps. The camera is supplied with a high quality lens (38 deg FOV) and includes an integrated shutter and order sorting filter. The camera is also IP52 rated, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
