The PARISS® Hyperspectral Imaging System The PARISS Spectral Microscope uses a unique curved prism and back reflector optical geometry mounted on a microscope with a computer operated stage To form a spectral image PARISS controls the stage to translate the field of view.  The PARISS software reconstitutes the spectral information to form a spectral image.
