Overview

MUSES9-SnS Snapshot Hyperspectral Camera – Product Overview


The MUSES9-SnS is a revolutionary snapshot hyperspectral imaging camera developed by Spectricon, designed to meet the growing demand for real-time spectral imaging across a wide range of industries. Unlike traditional hyperspectral systems that rely on line scanning or sequential band acquisition, the MUSES9-SnS uses snapshot technology to capture the entire spectral cube in a single frame, enabling instantaneous 4K hyperspectral video. This makes it especially powerful for applications that require high temporal resolution, such as industrial inspection, precision agriculture, biomedical imaging, and environmental monitoring.


With a resolution of 3096 x 2080 pixels, the MUSES9-SnS delivers over 6.4 million spatial data points per cube, maintaining full resolution across all spectral bands. The system is capable of capturing up to 53 full hyperspectral cubes per second, allowing users to visualize spectral data and classification maps in real time. This is a major breakthrough in hyperspectral video acquisition, previously hindered by slow capture speeds and mechanical scanning limitations.


The camera operates in the 370–1000 nm spectral range, covering the ultraviolet-A (UVA), visible (VIS), and near-infrared (NIR) regions. Depending on configuration, it supports 10 to 22 user-selectable spectral bands, and can generate up to two real-time spectral classification maps, offering immediate insight into material composition and spectral characteristics. This functionality is crucial for inline quality control, live biomedical diagnostics, and automated decision-making systems.


What sets the MUSES9-SnS apart is its exceptional optical efficiency. The design achieves over 90% light throughput, independent of polarization, maximizing signal-to-noise performance under varying lighting conditions. Its compact, lightweight form factor (480 g) and C-mount lens interface ensure compatibility with standard machine vision lenses, making it easy to integrate into existing setups or mobile platforms such as UAVs or handheld units.


Spectricon also provides robust software tools that empower users with complete control over camera settings, cube acquisition, and pixel-level spectral analysis. Integrated functions for real-time spectral classification, data export, and spectral cube visualization help reduce post-processing time and streamline workflows. Whether you’re classifying materials on a conveyor belt, monitoring plant health in a greenhouse, or analyzing tissue samples in a lab, the MUSES9-SnS delivers the speed, resolution, and spectral accuracy needed for actionable results.


In short, the MUSES9-SnS represents the next generation of hyperspectral imaging—compact, ultra-fast, high-resolution, and ready for real-time applications in the field or on the production line.
