ChemImage technology provides many benefits and increased imaging capabilities to forensic scientists. We understand the need for increased discrimination capabilities that won’t destroy your samples. The CONDOR™ Hyperspectral Imaging System offers these capabilities to bring you the next generation in forensic imaging technology.
Hyperspectral imaging is a validated and accepted technique that is becoming a commonly utilized forensic technology . Hyperspectral imaging combines standard digital imaging techniques with common spectroscopic methods such as Colorimetric and Fluorescence Chemical Imaging to provide increased sensitivity and discrimination capabilities over traditional methods.
The advantage of hyperspectral imaging lies in the information embedded within the image. Because the images are a series of snapshots collected as a function of wavelength, each pixel within the image has a fully resolved spectrum associated with it. This method of data collection allows for better visualization and discrimination of a wider range of documents. Because the type of information contained in hyperspectral images is easier to interpret for non-scientists, the presentation of data and information to jurors in the courtroom is easy and straightforward.
