The NIRvana Revolution Lives On!
For decades, Teledyne Princeton Instruments has been designing and optimizing state-of-the-art
detection systems to facilitate imaging and spectroscopy in the near-infrared spectral region.
Hundreds upon hundreds of leading-edge researchers have performed revolutionary NIR
measurements using our robust, highly popular, and field-proven NIRvana line of quantitative
InGaAs FPA cameras. With the NIRvana HS, we continue to redefine the possibilities forNIR imaging.
The new NIRvana HS offers an exciting, truly innovative set of world-class performance features tomeet the increasingly diverse needs of today’s scientific, industrial, and medical communities.
