About

SPECIM ImSpectors are designed for the VIS (380 - 800nm) and VNIR (400 - 1000nm) wavelength ranges.

These spectrographs provide a straightforward, high performance, yet cost-effective method of integration. When combined with scientific grayscale CCD or CMOS cameras the combination provides a line-scan Spectral Imaging device.
