The PARISS Hyperspectral Imaging system uses a prism with curved sides, a back reflector and a computer operated microscope stage. The entire assembly simply interfaces with most research microscopes. To form a spectral or Hyperspectral image the field of view is translated, in a technique known as “Push- Broom” Hyperspectral imaging.  The custom PARISS software then reconstructs the spectral data into a spectral topographical map (Hyperspectral Image.).
