Condor
ChemImage closed business in April 2023.
DISCONTINUED - The CONDOR, paired with ChemImage Xpert® software, utilizes reflected, transmitted or emitted light from each point in the sample image to create chemical-based contrast. Images are collected as a function of wavelength, with each image pixel containing a full spectrum. By obtaining both spatial and spectral information, areas of interest and background interferences are easily identified and minimized.
