Tel Aviv, Israel. \u2013 March 22, 2021 <\/strong>\u2013 Unispectral, <\/a>the developer of ColorIR\"™\" technology, announced today the launch of its new Monarch spectral IR camera. Monarch is the first low- SWaP (size, weight & power) spectral camera on the market, suitable for immediate use or by integration in OEM platforms or application developers. The low-cost Monarch simplifies spectral imaging and eliminates the need for expensive, bulky, complicated and sensitive equipment, or limited spectrometers.<\/p>\n

Monarch consists of the Unispectral proprietary tunable Fabry\u2013P\u00e9rot filter (\u03bcFPF), integrated with a miniature IR camera module, all fit into a slim 60x40x14.5mm, 30gr camera. For operation, controls and display, it connects via a USB cable to either an Android smartphone [for handheld use], a PC [for static integration] or main processor of OEM platform. The camera captures and immediately outputs multiple detailed, single-band, NIR images within the 680nm- 940nm wavelengths spectral range.<\/p>\n

Ariel Raz, CEO of Unispectral said, \u201cToday we rollout the first mass-market spectral camera. With the Monarch, Unispectral creates a brand-new market segment of spectral IR imaging for agriculture and other industries. The 30-gram camera works anywhere, in conjunction with Android Smartphones or PC.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In agriculture, the Monarch <\/strong>allows analysis of numerous produce health and quality indicators, throughout the supply chain. It allows the inspection of soil, plant, entire field, and pre\/post- harvest produce. \u201cOur partners had field-tested the Monarch with excellent quality and yield<\/em><\/p>\n
