IMA™
The IMA™ hyperspectral microscopy platform delivers equally high spectral and spatial resolution. Have this modular system
configured to rapidly scan the VIS, NIR and/or SWIR spectrums while mapping a combination of photoluminescence,
electroluminescence, fluorescence, reflectance, and/or transmittance. Each IMA™ comes equipped with high throughput global
imaging filters; this allows it to measure a megapixel hypercube faster than hyperspectral systems reliant on scanning
spectrography.
IMA™ OPENS THE DOOR TO
- Perform complex material analyses like solar cell characterization and semiconductor quality control (e.g.: perovskite, GaAs,
SiC, CIS, CIGS, etc.).
- Study IR markers in complex environments including live cells and tissue. Take for instance the spectral heterogeneity of IR
fluorophores emitting in the second biological window.
- Retrieve dark-field images and obtain a contrast of transparent and unstained samples such as polymers, crystals or live
cells.

HYPERSPECTRAL WIDEFIELD IMAGERS
Allowing you to completely characterize your target with full-resolution images at any wavelength within 400-1000 nm
(V-EOS™) or 1000-2300 nm (S-EOS™), Photon etc.’s widefield hyperspectral imagers will change your view of spectral
analysis. Acquisition of an optimized hyperspectral cube permits spectral analysis of each and every pixel of a full-resolution
image, meaning no more fastidious XY scanning of samples or limiting exposure time of remote sensing acquisitions. Resulting in
more than just an increase in efficiency, V-EOS™ and S-EOS™ provide data on both spectral and spatial content, allowing
you to perform novel analysis by extending the frontiers of your most demanding applications.

TUNABLE SOURCES & FILTERS
The Laser Line Tunable Filter (LLTF) is a non-dispersive tunable bandpass filter based on volume holographic gratings. It
delivers the highest signal throughput in the industry and is also unique in that it combines very high optical density (>
OD6) and outstanding out-of-band rejection with wide tunability. A single filter can be tuned from 400 nm to 1000 nm (VIS) or
1000 nm to 2300 nm (SWIR), with bandwidths (FWHM) of <2.5 nm and <5 nm respectively. Custom and extended spectral ranges
(up to 2500 nm) and bandwidths (sub-nm) are also available. Photon etc’s LLTF can be coupled with a supercontinuum laser to
provide a Tunable Laser Source (TLS); the LLTF is compatible with any VIS-NIR broadband source
LASER LINE TUNABLE FILTER
The incomparable efficiency and out-of-band rejection offered by our unique optical filtering technology are ideal for tunable
excitation sources in fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.

Accessories- HypIRia™ Objective lenses
The HypIRia™ are the only telecentric objective lenses optimized for 1 to 2.9 µm. Designed for machine vision and industrial
applications, their heavy duty stainless steel and aluminum housing makes them quite resistant to harsh environment. They are
well-suited for high-end scientific applications, mostly with spectroscopy or multiband due to their wide field and
telecentrism. They succeed at providing a wide aperture over such a long spectral range while still limiting distortion and
chromatism. This wide aperture allows an amazing throughput which offers high quality imaging even for low-light imaging. All
surfaces have an anti-reflective broadband coating effective over the whole spectral range. The manual fine focus allows for a
very precise adjustments of the image. They come in three different focal lengths (11 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm) and their input
ports (SM1 and M45) can easily be coupled with standard filters and protective windows. The H11 has a particularily wide field
of view, making it stand out even more.
