The PARISS® Analytical Hyperspectral Imaging System

A Microscope Accessory for
Life Science, Biological, Chemical, Physics
and Pharmaceutical Researchers

Basics

Convert spectral signatures acquired over an unlimited field of view into a targeted map
 
Analytical
Spectroscopic functions:
 
Fluorescence (natural and synthetic..)
 
Absorption in optical density(pathology, chemicals, fluorophores...)
 
%Reflection. (color, metal identification..)
 
Luminescence (electro-luminescence, bioluminescence...)
 
Emission (bright-field, OLED..)
 
Dark-field scatter (Nanoparticles, metals, textiles...)
 
 
 

Target and identify
C
omplex objects, or conditions

Nanoparticles: carbon, Ag, Au, Ti, Ce, diamond...
 
Histological, Cytological, Physiological, Multi-fluorophore: bonding, binding, chemical/physical interactions..
 
Industrial QC: color analysis, fibres, powders
 
Physics and chemistry: ion-transport, plasma, pH..
 
     
Key Functions
