IMA - Hyperspectral Fluorescence Microscope

Photon etc. Offers complex material analysis (gaas, sic, cdte, cis, cigs) using hyperspectral imaging of diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence and electroluminescence. Our technology is based on high throughput global imaging filters, faster and more efficient than spectrograph based hyperspectral systems.
Imaging from 400 to 1000 nm with a bandwidth of 2.5 nm or from 900 to 1700 nm with a bandwidth of 4 nm, photon etc.’s ima™ is capable of measuring optoelectrical properties such as voltage open circuit and external quantum efficiency and allows precise detection and characterization of defects in materials. Researchers and qc analysts will greatly benefit from this innovation.
Also, nir hyperspectral microscopy is ideal for the spatial and spectral identification and measurement of fluorophores that emit in the second biological window.
With the possible integration of a darkfield illumination module, it becomes an exceptional tool to detect the composition and the location of nanomaterials embedded in cells.
Applications: characterization of solar cells; quality control of semiconductor devices; map of composition, defects, stress, constraint, etc.; monitor spectral information; changes in intensity of single emitters; shifts in wavelength; spectral bandwidth variations. An example: single wall nanotubes (swnts) emission bands are narrow (~ 20 nm) and each band corresponds to unique (n, m) species (chiralities). With ir hyperspectral microscopy, it is possible to separate these species, with single swnt spatial resolution on surfaces, in live cells (in vivo), and in vitro.
In vivo applications: imaging of multiplexed emitters; long-term sensing;
