  • System and method for hyperspectral imaging
    Patent number: 8891087
    Abstract: A system and method for visualizing a biological sample. One or more spectra are selected for illuminating the biological sample to indicate one or more chemicals in the biological sample. The biological sample is illuminated with the one or more spectra. Reflected light is analyzed to determine characteristics of the biological sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2014
    Assignee: Digital Light Innovations
    Inventors: Karel J. Zuzak, William Boyd Werner, Duane Scott Dewald, Brian Crowell
  • System and method for hyperspectral illumination
    Patent number: 8792098
    Abstract: A system and method for a hyperspectral illuminator. The hyperspectral illuminator includes an LED array for generating light of a predefined spectra. The hyperspectral illuminator further includes multiple collimators. Each of the multiple collimators is associated with one an LED of the LED array and focus the light into beams. The hyperspectral illuminator further includes multiple dichroic filters. The dichroic filters filter the beams. The hyperspectral illuminator further includes one or more integrator lenses for mixing the filtered beams into a uniform pattern for projection on to a target.
