Hindsight Imaging’s instruments operate from the ultraviolet and visible, with its rainbow of colors, to the near- and mid-infrared spectral regions used for night vision. Hindsight’s spectrometers can record images arising from familiar reflectance, absorption or emission spectra as well as more modern techniques such as Raman scattering, where laser excitation provides a unique chemical fingerprint of the target material.
