The drive for the development of the Raman imaging spectrograph came from the need for combining high light throughput, distortion free performance, and polarization free optical design. All these main requirements together with small footprint of the device, good image quality, and high spectral resolution were possible to achieve with fully transmissive optical design used in the SPECIM ImSpector series of imaging spectrographs. By combining the Raman ImSpector with a sensitive CCD camera, optimised objective lens, and required excitation line-laser, SPECIM customers are finally able to construct a truly imaging Raman measurement system. The imaging Raman spectrographs are available for several standard wavelength ranges from 500 nm up to 1000 nm for use with different types of excitation lasers.

The outstanding performance-to-cost ratio has made SPECIM’s ImSpector products the market leading series of Hyperspectral imaging spectrographs for both industrial OEM customers and scientists who integrate their own Hyperspectral imaging solutions. ImSpector imaging spectrograph is a component that can be integrated with an area monochrome camera to form a complete spectral imaging device that captures line images of a target and disperses each line image pixel into spectrum. Consequently, ImSpector allows diverse opportunities to analyse accurately the spatial distribution of target properties based on its spectral features.
