Overview
RC Series Scientific-Grade Hyperspectral Imager

The RC Series represents the highest tier of hyperspectral imaging performance — scientific-grade systems with cooled detectors, sub-nanometer spectral resolution, and spectral coverage from UV through SWIR (200–2500 nm). Designed for research institutions, defense, and advanced industrial applications requiring the highest sensitivity, lowest noise, and most precise spectral characterization available.

Research-grade performance, not compromised. Cooled detectors, <0.5 nm spectral resolution, and UV–SWIR coverage in a single platform — the RC Series is specified for applications where standard hyperspectral systems are insufficient.
Capabilities
Key Features
Sensitivity
Cooled Scientific Detectors

Thermoelectrically cooled CMOS and InGaAs detectors minimize dark current and thermal noise for maximum sensitivity in low-light conditions.

Resolution
<0.5 nm Spectral Resolution

Sub-nanometer spectral resolution enables precise identification of narrow absorption features and fine spectral structures.

Coverage
UV to SWIR (200–2500 nm)

Broadest spectral coverage available — from deep UV through visible, NIR, and SWIR in configurable single or dual-sensor configurations.

Fidelity
Minimal Optical Aberrations

Premium optical design with minimized smile, keystone, and stray light for publication-quality spectral imaging data.

Flexibility
Modular Configuration

Configurable spectral range, detector type, and optical interface to match specific research or application requirements.

Integration
Research Platform Ready

Compatible with optical tables, goniometers, integrating spheres, and custom research setups via standard optical interfaces.
