The L-EOS is an infrared push broom hyperspectral system optimized from 0.9 up to 2.8 µm. Using a totally reflective spectrometer at its core, it has fewer interfaces, thus less light losses, no chromatism and very low aberrations. It is combined with Photon etc.’s scientific-grade infrared cameras and objective lenses specifically designed for infrared spectroscopy.

The most important added value is the possibility to customize the instrument to specific applications. Our broad expertise covers various applications going from geology to material sorting, recycling and many others. Its 4 stages TE cooling at either -50°C or -80°C offers a longer lifetime than other cooling systems and less maintenance. Its robustness makes it industry-ready.

Hyperspectral Microscopes and Laboratory Products

Global hyperspectral microscope

IMA is a hyperspectral microscope delivering spectral and spatial information in the VIS, NIR, and SWIR range (400 nm – 1620 nm). This system rapidly maps photoluminescence, electroluminescence, fluorescence, reflectance, and transmittance. Based on high throughput global-imaging filters, IMA is faster and more efficient than standard point-by-point or line-scan based systems.

IMA Applications Overview

  • Perform complex material analyses such as solar cell characterization and semiconductor quality control.
  • Study IR markers in complex environments including live cells and tissue.
  • Retrieve darkfield images and obtain a contrast of transparent and unstained samples such as polymers, crystals or live cells.

Hyperspectral Visible and Infrared Camera

GRAND-EOS is a global hyperspectral camera that is continuously tunable from 400 to 1620 nm. This system combines micro and macro modalities. It provides non-polarized wavelength selection with high throughput and efficiency. This is made possible by Photon etc.’s patented filtering technology based on volume Bragg grating. GRAND-EOS generates a hyperspectral data-cube with spatial information along the X-Y axes and spectral information along the Z-axis. Photon etc.’s global-imaging technology extracts a data-cube from a handful of monochromatic images and without the need for image reconstruction. The field of view covered can be adjusted depending on the application and sample size. GRAND-EOS is designed for reflectance, transmittance and luminescence imaging and is well suited for both fundamental research and industrial applications.

GRAND-EOS opens the door to

  • Photovoltaic characterization
  • Counterfeit examination
  • Forensic research
  • Food and plants sorting
