"Hyperspectral Imaging
For Life and Materials Science"

PARISS® Hyperspectral Imaging works in:
Fluorescence, Absorption, Reflection and Emission

"Unmixes" Multiple Fluorophores,
Segments Brightfield, and Will
Characterize and Detect Nanoparticles

The PARISS system is a microscope accessory

( PARISS: "Prism and Reflector Imaging Spectroscopy System")

 
hyperspectral imaging: Alexa spectra
hyperspectral imaging: Alexa in tissue
Spectral emission profiles of Alexa 555, 569, and 594. Emission spectra of each fluorophore strongly overlaps the others. Tissue section stained with Alexa 555, 569 and 594; all excited simultaneously at 488 nm. The distribution of each fluorophore is clearly segmented**.
Key Functions
  • Spectral range 365 to 920 nm in a single shot
  • Spectral "unmixing" with auto-spectral libraries
  • Characterize CFP/YFP FRET with over 300 wavelength data points!
  • Conduct pure spectral analysis (absorption, % reflection, %transmission) on micro samples
  • Generate spectral histograms for statistical analysis of regions of interest or entire fields
  • Radiometric calibration to compensate for variations in camera sensitivity (QE), as a function of wavelength
Key applications
  • Fluorescence Segmentation: delineate up to 15 fluorophores simultaneously
  • Nanoparticle, Nanowire and Nanorod characterization: Characterize individual nanoparticles for size and shape.
  • Dark-Field Scatter: Characterize extended fields of nanoparticles using dark-field scatter
  • FRET and multiplexed fluorophore imaging
  • Advanced segmentation and analysis of bright-field histological samples
  • OLED defect characterization
