Making NIR Spectral Imaging Easy and More Affordable

The Specim GX17 enables broader adoption of hyperspectral technology for price-critical high-volume machine vision applications, such as food sorting & inspection, waste sorting and NIR spectra research.

It offers industrial speeds combined with efficient, accurate and robust inspection capabilities. Featuring a market-leading F/1.7 objective lens for maximum light throughput, and 1.8x bigger pixels than the Specim FX17, it requires less lighting power than other hyperspectral NIR systems and offers shorter integration times.

Specim GX17 Key Benefits:

  • High-Performing: High spatial resolution, image speed, light throughput and signal quality
  • Accurate: 50% more pixels compared to conventional QVGA (320 pixel) sensor-based HSI cameras
  • Cost-Effective: Best cost-performance ratio HSI NIR camera in high-volumes
