HSG-BlackBullet is a compact and rugged push-broom hyperspectral camera developed for on-line machine integration and industrial applications in the visible and near-infrared (NIR): 500 - 1000 nm.
It incorporates a scanning element so it is not necessary to have relative movement between the camera and the object to be measured, thus also being suitable for static applications.
It also includes an RGB camera so that you will have a hyperspectral and color image simultaneously and you can use the blue band for calibrations. In many applications, the blue band is not necessary for spectral inspection but it is required to calibrate, so this model is perfectly valid despite starting to measure from 500 nm (green).

Typical applications of hyperspectral imaging systems in the visible-NIR:
- fluorescence imaging
- identification and classification of plastics, minerals and other materials
- recycling
- bioscience and medicine; pharmaceutical industry
- agriculture and food quality (agrifood)
- forestry, forests
- hyperspectral microscopy
- conservation and study of art
- forensic science
- basic and applied research
HSG-Black cameras also have free and continuously updated hyperspectral imaging processing software: HSG-BlackStudio.
In addition to data acquisition and evaluation of data quality, the BlackStudio integrates analysis functions that can be used for data classification using ROI. So it is not neccessary to buy expensive software packages for this purpose.
