A spectroscopy camera is a camera that is used as a detection device in a spectrometer. Spectrometers are used in chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, the food and beverage industry, and manufacturing to analyze samples, either for identifying or measuring product quality. As samples go through the spectrometer, they create a unique spectrum that is captured by the spectroscopy camera. The spectroscopy camera can be used with many types of spectroscopy, including fluorescence, Raman, and absorption/reflection.
Considerations when choosing a spectroscopy camera :
Some things to consider when choosing a spectroscopy camera are its spectral range, resolution of image, sensitivity, how many active pixels, the width of the sensor, and image area.
