Journal Article
Content, R., Blake, S., Dunlop, C., Nandi, D., Sharples, R., Talbot, G., …Luke, P. (2013). New Microslice Technology for Hyperspectral Imaging. Remote Sensing, 5(3), 1204-1219. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs5031204

We present the results of a project to develop a proof of concept for a novel hyperspectral imager based on the use of advanced micro-optics technology. The technology gives considerably more spatial elements than a classic pushbroom which translates... Read More about New Microslice Technology for Hyperspectral Imaging.
