About NIR Spectrum

 

Infrared spectrum is the wavelength range of 780-2526 nm, the most prominent absorption bands occurring in the NIR region corresponds to overtones and combination of fundamental vibrations of HX bonding, where X can be carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

NIR Spectroscopy is commonly is used in agricultural operations to control crop parameters, such as water content, sugar content, and other indicators of ripeness. And it measure chlorophyll fluorescence to determine the need for nitrogen-based fertilizers or scans for brushing that is not visible to the human eye.

NIR is also a vibration-sensitive technology and design must take this into account for applications in a production environment. NIR spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between a sample (e.g. cereals, seeds, oils, finished products) and infrared light that has been dispersed into individual wavelengths, usually by a prism. It is electromagnetic spectrum method uses the near infrared region.

The Monarch™ is the first device that allows you to capture spectral images easily and inexpensively, anywhere and anytime. No more need for expensive, bulky and sensitive equipment or handheld point spectrometers that require a trained operator and are blind to scene context. Monarch opens a wide array of new applications for any market segment.

Unispectral Monarch camera is suitable for both hand-held inspection and installations in greenhouses, vertical growing facilities, robotics and machine vision platforms. By using spectral IR imaging, Monarch provides a new layer of information. The NIR light reflections of plants, chemicals and minerals contain information that is invisible to the human eye. Monarch small and light camera captures detailed frames in 700nm-950nm NIR spectral range that unveil actionable information. As a multi-spectral NIR camera, Monarch can measure large samples and unlike point devices, enables context understanding. Monarch opens a new array of applications, possibilities and opportunities for agriculture individuals and cooperatives.
