Imaging Spectrometer
The Caltech imaging spectrometer system (also called a hyperspectral imager) consists of a quad-core processor and two sensors (f/2.5 aperture vertical slit cameras) co-boresighted on an optical bench. The system was custom-built by Headwall Photonics, Inc. and is field-portable.

Point Spectrometer and Custom Goniometer
The ASD Fieldspec 3 acquires reflectance measurements of sample surfaces from 0.35 to 2.5 μm with spectral resolutions of 3 nm at 0.7 μm and 10 nm at 1.4 and 2.1 μm. The instrument is fully field portable.
