Image Analysis and Display
Convert map data into chemical images
LabSpec 6 offers a wide variety of tools for working with hyperspectral Raman images. These include many advanced spectral processing tools (to optimize the data from which the images originate) as well as the full image creation and display functions.
Check out our LabSpec 6 Video Resource Center to fully master your LabSpec 6 spectroscopy software!
Images can be created using univariate 鈥渃ursor鈥� functions, for fast display of peak height, area, position and width distribution; in addition, multivariate decomposition and clustering techniques can be used for creating high quality images even from the most challenging of chemical systems.
The software can be used to work with multi-dimensionsal datasets, including 1D profiles (such as line, time, kinetic, temperature studies), 2D images (such as XY surface maps) and 3D volume images (i.e., confocal XYZ maps).
The following examples show some of the stunning images which can be created with LabSpec 6. More images are available in our image gallery.
