The Spectra Scanners are compact scanning hyperspectral imagers designed for high-resolution spectral analysis of laboratory samples, surfaces, coatings, materials, and other objects. The systems capture full spectral information across a defined scan area, allowing users to analyze individual pixels, selected regions, or complete hyperspectral images with detailed spatial and spectral precision. Spectra scanners are designed for applications that require accurate spectral measurements over selected areas rather than large-field industrial camera imaging. They are well suited for research laboratories, quality control workflows, materials analysis, forensic investigation, pharmaceutical inspection, food sample testing, art conservation, archaeology, coatings analysis, electronics inspection, and other small-sample hyperspectral imaging applications. The systems supports automated scanning across X, Y, and Z motion axes, allowing users to capture spectral data across sample surfaces with repeatable positioning and controlled scan parameters. Spectra Mini can acquire hyperspectral data over scan areas up to 100 x 100 mm with spatial resolution down to 0.1 mm, depending on system configuration and scanner setup. The Spectra Max can scan up to 15" x 15" (381 mm x 381 mm) with 0.1 mm resolution. Both scanners support flexible spectral range configurations, including UV/NIR from 185–1025 nm, NIR1 from 950–1700 nm, and NIR2 from 950–2500 nm. These spectral options allow customers to choose the wavelength range that best fits their materials, sample types, and analysis goals. When paired with Spectra Explorer Software, the scanners provide an end-to-end hyperspectral workflow from sample scanning to spectral analysis. Users can capture hyperspectral data, generate spectral cubes, visualize false-color maps, inspect spectral plots, compare materials, search spectral databases, classify sample regions, and export results for reporting or further analysis. Both scanners can be used as a complete integrated hyperspectral scanner or configured with compatible fiber-optic spectrometers depending on the application. This makes it a flexible option for customers who need a compact laboratory hyperspectral imaging system without committing to a large industrial imaging platform. Common applications include pharmaceutical tablet and coating analysis, material and surface inspection, polymer and ceramic identification, forensic fiber and residue analysis, art and archaeology pigment studies, food and agricultural sample testing, thin film and coating evaluation, electronics inspection, and research-grade spectral imaging of a variety of objects. Key capabilities include compact scanning hyperspectral imaging, automated X/Y/Z scanning motion, scan areas up to 100 x 100 mm (Mini) / 381 x 381 mm (Max) spatial resolution down to 0.1 mm, UV/NIR and NIR spectral range options, single-pixel analysis, region-of-interest analysis, full-image analysis, hyperspectral cube generation, spectral plotting, spectral mapping, classification, database search, and integration with Spectra Explorer Software. These scanners are designed for organizations that need compact, precise, and flexible hyperspectral scanning for small-sample analysis, material verification, quality control, and research applications.
