Hyperspectral
Imaging Solutions
Hyperspectral imaging involves capturing a full spectrum of light at each pixel of an image. Instead of just recording color (RGB), it records detailed wavelength information, creating a 3D data cube with:
- X and Y: Spatial coordinates
- Z: Spectral data (wavelength composition)
This cube allows you to analyze how light interacts with materials — whether it’s absorbed, emitted, or scattered — based on their molecular structure. By comparing these spectral signatures to a reference database, you can identify substances with high precision.
Why Lighting Matters in Hyperspectral Imaging
The accuracy of hyperspectral analysis depends heavily on the quality of the incident light. Effilux hyperspectral lighting is engineered to meet the most demanding requirements:
- Broad spectral coverage: From UV to NIR
- Uniform illumination: Ensures consistent signal across the sample and time for repeatable measurements
- High power: Overcomes ambient light and noise
Applications
Effilux hyperspectral lighting is ideal for:
- Material identification
- Contaminant detection
- Food and pharmaceutical inspection
- Scientific research

What is the wavelength range covered?
Effilux hyperspectral lighting systems cover a broad spectral range suitable for industrial and scientific applications:
- 400 to 900 nm for the standard version (visible + near-infrared)
- 400 to 1000 nm for extended versions, including additional NIR LEDs
How does Effilux lighting ensure signal uniformity?
Lighting uniformity is essential in hyperspectral imaging to ensure the reliability of measurements.
Effilux solutions provide uniform illumination thanks to:
- Interchangeable diffusers that optimize the level of diffusion,
- A sophisticated optical design that controls light distribution,
- Specific options for line scan that guarantee linear uniformity,
- Stable LED technology that minimizes signal variations over time
How does this technology compare to halogen lighting?
LED hyperspectral lighting offers several advantages over traditional halogen-based solutions:
- Better signal stability over time
- Longer lifespan, better ROI
- Reduced maintenance
- Faster stabilization time
- More compact and flexible integration
