The Thorlabs HSC23V multispectral imaging system features a 1/1.2" format, monochrome CMOS 2.3 MP sensor, and is designed to simplify the capture of spectral images (data cubes) with the help of user-configurable filter sets. The system features a 12-slot wheel, which allows the imaging system to generate a data cube with 12 spectral channels. These data cubes enable spatial spectroscopy of a user’s samples. By selecting wavelengths relevant to an application, users can develop a measurement system capable of classifying various analytes or quantifying the response in a particular wavelength range. In single wavelength or single filter mode, the global shutter of the imaging system scans the entire field of view simultaneously, allowing for imaging of fast-moving objects.
12-Slot Filter Wheel and Filter Kits
The HSC23V imaging system features a 12-slot filter wheel, that allows customers to tailor their system to their own application. Filter kits are sold separately as sets of twelve (12) filters for various wavelength ranges (VIS, VIS/NIR, or NIR), as well as various full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidths. Filters from different kits can be mixed if not all filters are required from a single set to customize the system for a given application. Transmission spectra for the different filter kits can be found in the Filter Graphs tab, while more detailed specifications on each filter may be found below. An extra HSCFWB empty filter wheel may be purchased to make swapping between sets easier.

The left image (a) shows the leaves in RGB, where the artificial leaves are indistinguishable from natural leaves, while in the image on the right (b) the artificial leaves can be clearly distinguished (shown in blue).
