- Reflectance spectrum (right) of a leaf (left) obtained with the SPEX prototype hyperspectral imager
- The reflectance of artificial (red) and fresh (green) leaves can be clearly distinguished beyond 700nm
- Using a chlorophyll content model, crop health and potential disease occurrence can be predicted for the assessment of plant growth conditions
Geological Exploration
Mineral Mapping and Soil Analysis
Image credit : 2025 SPEX Inc.
- Reflectance spectra (right) of 40 minerals (left) captured with the SPEX prototype
- Unique spectral signatures of minerals enable applications in geological resource exploration and soil analysis
- A strong and narrow emission line (arrow) in corundum (No.16), caused by chromium, can also be detected with the SPEX instrument
