Chapter 5: CM401 Capturing an Image Chapter 5 Capturing an Image Make sure to install the required software before you start the experiment. Open ThorImageLS application on the computer. Select the desired devices from the Hardware Configuration window. The following image shows the standard devices required for Hyperspectral system. Wait till a green dot appears next to all the selected devices, and then click OK. - Page 15 Chapter 5: CM401 Capturing an Image In the Kurios Filter panel, set the value for Start, Stop, and Step Size. You can set the Start and Stop value between 420–730 nm. In the below image, the Start value is set to the minimum wavelength (420 nm) of the KURIOS filter.
- Page 16 Chapter 5: CM401 Capturing an Image Enter the Stop value as the Wavelength value (for example, 730 nm). In the Camera Control panel, change the Exposure value until you see the desired brightness on the image. Record the desired Exposure value (Stop Exposure) on a paper.
- Page 17 Chapter 5: CM401 Capturing an Image In the above example, 11 different wavelengths have been recorded. The hyperspectral acquisition uses the graph as reference to get the exposure corresponding to each wavelength. In the tab, select Hyperspectral for Capture Mode.
- Page 18 Chapter 5: CM401 Capturing an Image Click to start the acquisition. Click tab to load the captured experiment. A new slider appears that shows the spectral wavelength of the current image and its index. For information about the hyperspectral acquisition and camera settings, expand the Info panel.
