Abstract
The latest high-resolution sensors capture application-defined spectral bands in real time. These sensors combine the advantages of imaging and spectroscopy, capturing spatial and spectral information and overcoming the limitations of existing technologies. These sensors have been developed, to meet the needs of medical diagnostic applications, focus on measurement of diagnostic fluorescent probes, and for tissue blood oxygenation. These sensors provide similar performance to charged-coupled device (CCD) sensors in terms of resolution and frame rate. The key advantage of the new sensor involves capturing a large number of spectral bands with a simple design. It combines color CCD cameras and multiple-bandpass filters that transmit light in several discrete narrow spectral bands.
