Abstract:
1. A system for capturing a two-dimensional image comprising: optics for collecting light reflected from, transmitted through or emitted by a surface or a medium; a measurement module comprising a two-dimensional array of sensor elements and a concentric optical element having a grating that provides to said array of sensor elements a spectral dispersion of said light collected by said optics, wherein said array of sensor elements records a spectral distribution of said light collected by said optics at each point along a line through an image of said surface or medium, wherein movement of said at least one of at least said array of sensor elements, or said surface or medium, enables capture of a plurality of ones of said line; said system operates in calibration to a reference traceable to a standard; one or more processors to control said measurement module and to provide an interface to an external system; and software executable by one or both of said one or more processors or said external system comprising:
