Abstract

We demonstrate a hand-held scanner that acquires two-dimensional images with up to 40 distinct wavelength channels. Light is collected through a combined slit and illumination assembly, dispersed by a diffraction grating film and analyzed using a webcam. Custom software is used to track the scanner motion and build the hyperspectral image data in real time. We tested the performance on printed fluorescent ink patterns that are of interest for security printing applications, and obtained results that are consistent with spectra acquired using a laboratory-grade spectrofluorometer.
