PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2010 — ChemImage Corporation will be instructing a workshop on the basic theories and methods associated with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) on Friday, Sept. 10 at the 20th International Symposium on the Forensic Sciences, a biennial meeting of the Australian New Zealand Forensic Science Society in Sydney, Australia.
The three-hour workshop will focus on several of HSI’s forensic applications, including questioned document examination, fingerprint imaging on complex backgrounds and bloodstain imaging on dark backgrounds. This session will also give attendees the opportunity to get some hands-on experience using the ChemImage HSI ExaminerTM 100 QD, the first commercially available HSI instrument for questioned document examination.
Hyperspectral imaging takes conventional photography and imaging methods to the next level by adding a spectroscopic basis for sample analysis. The result enables the identification and enhancement of contrast between chemically different materials.
In addition to the session, ChemImage will also be exhibiting at booth number 31 throughout the symposium’s Sept. 4-9 duration.
