Introducing a new line of hyperspectral imaging sensor and system solutions.
Corning acquired NovaSol in early 2015. The acquisition combines NovaSol’s strong technology portfolio and core competency in imaging solutions and over 17 years of experience in the industry with Corning's extensive production capabilities in optical systems and deep commitment to research and development.
Corning’s microHSI™ spectral sensor systems spanning from the visible to the infrared combine the lowest size, weight and power (SWaP) in the industry with uncompromising performance, enabling deployment for challenging applications in limited payload and/or size constrained environments.
