Austrian Researchers Create Hyperspectral Camera with PVC and Duct Tape

Austrian Researchers Create Hyperspectral Camera with PVC and Duct Tape

A group of imaging specialists over at Vienna University of Technology has come up with a hyperspectral camera using materials that are easily accessible, including duct tape. The project, called Computer Tomography Image Spectrometer (CTIS), attaches a hyperspectral camera lens made of stock SLR glass, a gel diffraction filter, PVC pipe, and duct tape, into an ordinary DSLR camera. For the uninformed, hyperspectral imaging is a photography method that captures a significantly greater amount of electromagnetic spectrum compared to a regular photo.
