HSG-BlackBox is a hyperspectral imaging system with push-broom technology for industrial and research (R&D) applications in the visible and near-infrared (NIR): 500 - 1000 nm.
The system is installed in a cabinet with lighting to have the entire environment controlled without the need to isolate the area. It incorporates a scanning element so it is not necessary to have relative movement between the camera and the object to be measured, just placing the sample in the cabinet and measuring.
It also includes an RGB camera so that you will have a hyperspectral and color image simultaneously and you can use the blue band for calibrations. In many applications, the blue band is not necessary for spectral inspection but it is required to calibrate, so this model is perfectly valid despite allowing to measure spectrally from 500 nm (green). The built-in LED lighting ensures a homogeneous response.
In our Polyespectral Imaging Application you can learn more on this technology, the features and advantages.

Typical applications of hyperspectral imaging systems in the visible-NIR:
- fluorescence imaging
- identification and classification of plastics, minerals and other materials
- recycling
- bioscience and medicine; pharmaceutical industry
- agriculture and food quality (agrifood)
- forestry, forests
- hyperspectral microscopy
- conservation and study of art
- forensic science
- basic and applied research
HSG-Black cameras also have free and continuously updated hyperspectral imaging processing software: HSG-BlackStudio.
In addition to data acquisition and evaluation of data quality, the BlackStudio integrates analysis functions that can be used for data classification using ROI. So it is not neccessary to buy expensive software packages for this purpose.
