SpectraView

ASI develops and manufactures imaging spectroscopy instruments for applications in Microscopy and Remote Sensing for Research, Medical and Industrial environment.

The SpectraView® spectral imaging system is a flexible image analysis "tool kit" that detects chemical differences in your sample, even those that are hidden from the eye.

The spectral range of the system is 400-900 nm. The efficiency in this range is not constant, and it can be plotted as a graph that peaks around 550-600 nm and goes down from this range to the edges. At 400 and 900 nm, it will go down to about 5-10% from the peak. While it may measure some data above 350 nm, it will not measure any data below that wavelength. For NIR measurement the range can reach 1000, 1050, 1100nm.

Region of Interest (ROI)

The SpectraView has the "Expand ROI (Region of Interest)" feature that defines the ROIs by comparing the intensity and / or the spectrum so, if the cell has different intensity or spectral characters from its surrounding it will be defined.
After the definition the user can open an information dialog which shows information like: average intensity, roundness, size...

* Automatic ROI definition according to the intensity of any of the resultant SUN (Spectral UN-mixing) operations.
* Automatic ROI definition according to the minimal square error to any spectral type (Transmittance, Optical density, etc…)
* Ability to define spectral reference as the average of a free hand region.
* Enable defining also small regions, even a single pixel.
* Improved mechanism for automatic region definition (faster, smoother contours)

Spectral Graph

* Introduction of “KubelKa-Monk” model for reflection light feature
* Maximize window of spectral graph to full screen
* Zoom in feature
* Automatic Full Width Half Max (FWHM)
* Export to reports

Advanced Algorithms

* Introduction of Tissue Oxygen Saturation (OS) feature
* Advanced object classification mechanism that combines morphological and spectral information. This will enable the user to classify cells into several classes ( Tumor, Normal, etc…) based on their shape and spectral components.
* Non-supervised classification
* PCA (Principal Component Analysis) separation.

Applications

* Cell biology research
* Geology
* Quality assurance for the drug discovery industry
* Pathology
* Brain surgery
* Art restoration
* Define your image boundaries with a click-and-drag of the mouse.
* Sharpen your image for accurate focusing without changing the exposure time.
* See saturation points in the image before you capture it.

Powerful image processing algorithms

* Create a color-coded map to show chemical similarities and differences.
* Compare the chemical make up of one image with any number of other images.
* Separate your image into layers to view underlying information.

Quantitative information in context

* Automatically select areas according to spectra and intensity.
* Quantify each selected area according to intensity, area and more.
* Export the information to common spreadsheet formats.

Customized reports and printouts

* Create your report layout with a variety of image sizes.
* Include notes and annotations in your report.

Robust image database

* Easily organize and archive case information and images together
* Powerful utility to archive and back up cases.
* Search the entire database for any information, including text strings.

Extensive support

* Detailed user manuals and extensive on-line help.
* Free phone support for a year from system installation.
* Service contracts available after the one-year warranty period has expired.
