Hyperspectral Imaging

Hyperspectral imaging is a technique that combines imaging and spectroscopy to acquire full spectral information from a desired scene of interest. The acquired hyperspectral image, or hypercube, contains contains both spectral and spatial data each location measured in the two-dimensional space occupied by a single cell. 
Xanapath’s hyperspectral microscope imaging system is comprised of a computer-controlled motorized stage, lasers for fluorescence excitation, imaging spectrograph for wavelength dispersion, computer-controlled CCD camera for image capture, and software for image acquisition and decomposition.  The system is outfitted with a range of excitation sources including argon, helium-neon, and solid-state lasers along with xenon and mercury lamps. This arrangement enables the use of a wide range of fluorophores to accomplish multiplexed analysis
