FIGURE 1. Emphasizing blood vessels in the human forearm: an image with the conventional RGB camera (left) and a hyperspectral image in SWIR after processing with IDCube (right) are shown. This datacube was collected using a SWIR-sensitive 2D indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) camera, Ninox (Raptor Photonics), mounted on top of a SWIR imaging spectrograph (Specim) equipped with a chromatic-aberration-free lens (StingRay Optics) , and was obtained by members of the Berezin Lab at Washington University in St. Louis.
