Multispectralcamera uses

Through our strategic partnerships, European Space Imaging offers hyperspectral imagery with resolutions as high as 5 m. The key factor that separates hyperspectral imagery is the width of the spectral bands. With hundreds of bands covering VNIR and SWIR spectrums, analytics become much more precise.

Means by which most of the magnification is achieved in a compound microscope, as found directly above the specimen and typically separated into 3 or 4 different magnifications per microscope.

In this model, ResNet34 is used for feature extraction and the FCN operation remains as is. The feature of ResNet architecture is exploited where just like VGG, as the number of filters double, the feature map size gets halved. This gives a similarity to VGG and ResNet architecture while supporting deeper architecture and addressing the issue of vanishing gradients while also being faster. The fully connected layer at the output of ResNet34 is not used and instead converted to fully convolutional layer by means of 1×1 convolution.

Only a small number of space-based imagery providers offer hyperspectral imagery, though the potential for industry disrupting applications are already making headway across the globe.

UNet architecture for semantic segmentation with VGG16 as the encoder or feature extractor. VGG16 is used as an encoder or feature extractor in the contracting path and the corresponding symmetric expanding path predicts the dense segmentation output.

The power to see beyond the visible light spectrum cannot be overstated. With hundreds of current applications and countless more waiting to be discovered, multispectral imagery is the key to unlocking insights in any industry. European Space Imaging captures imagery with up to 8 multispectral bands plus the ability to collect imagery in Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) and hyperspectral as well.

In this model, VGG16 is used for feature extraction which also performs the function of an encoder. The fully connected layer of the VGG16 is not used and instead converted to fully convolutional layer by means of 1×1 convolution.

Focusing a microscope typically will involve starting with a lower magnification objective and then working ones way up to a higher magnification. A common mistake is to not follow this sequence, either never bringing magnification up to a high level or, more commonly, to skip attempting to first focus at the lower levels of magnification. Note that it often is possible to skip the lowest level of magnification. If you are having difficulty focusing your microscope onto the specimen, however, then one thing you might try is to start over at the lowest magnification.

The lens (or lenses) that sit immediately above the specimen (as found on a slide) is called the objective lens (or lenses). The reason for the name is that the specimen is also known as the object and the objective lens is immediately adjacent to the object (rather than immediately adjacent to one's eye or eyes) The pathway of light is: light source → condenser → iris diaphragm → stage → object/specimen → objective lens → ocular lens → eye or camera. The objective lens will have certain associated magnifications such as 4×, 10×, 40×, and 100×. See also Parfocal.
