Evaluation of MICROXCAM 384-HS imaging spectroscopy for applications in the pharmaceutical sector

The partner organization in this project has recently developed a new imaging technology that is a potentially suitable platform for the development of miniaturized imaging spectrometer instruments that can provide rapid qualitative analysis of diverse types of samples without use of any chemicals. These instruments have numerous potential practical applications in the agricultural, food, clinical, and pharmaceutical sectors, among others. The aim of this project is to investigate the analytical performance of this technology for selected applications in pharmaceutical sector. This research will be conducted by an intern who will have a unique opportunity to work with the opto-mechanical design team at the partner organization and gain experience with this emerging technology. The results of the project will provide the partner organization with a basis for identifying directions for the further development of its technology.
