Cirtek imaging spectral radiometer

The Cirtek Imaging Spectral Radiometer is a laboratory and field deployable instrument capable of measuring spectral signatures. The instrument is custom built by ABB Bomem based on FTIR technology. The instrument can be mounted onto motorized pedestals for precision tracking of measurement targets.
