Short Description
Self-built Hyperspectral Imaging (HS) Core Scanning System, equipped with two high-resolution hyperspectral cameras enabling hyperspectral imaging of cores to determine mineralogy and soil composition using reflectance spectroscopy at 400–2500 nm wavelength range. The combination of visible/near-infrared (VNIR – 400-1000nm) and lower short-wave infrared (SWIR – 1000-2500nm) narrowband spectroscopy allows to capture the key spectral features of minerals as well as of organic compounds and pigments. The SPECIM FX10 camera images the region from 400 to 1000 nm wavelength in 224 channels. The SPECIM SWIR camera imaging the range from 1000 nm to 2500 nm in 288 channels.
