Rebellion Photonics Wins Prestigious 2012 R&D 100 Award For Its ARROW hyperspectral video camera

The ARROW, a true real-time hyperspectral video camera, is recognized as one of the world’s most technologically significant products

HOUSTON, June 25, 2012- R&D Magazine announced on June 20, 2102 that the ARROW hyperspectral video camera has been chosen as a recipient of a 2012 R&D Award, which recognize the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year. The annual award competition is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. “It is an honor for the technical team at Rebellion Photonics to be listed with the likes of Intel, Leica, and NASA on the R&D100 list,” said Chris Morlier, Director of Software.

“We are grateful to the R&D100 judges for awarding us this honor. “said Allison Lami Sawyer, CEO of Rebellion Photonics. “What sets Rebellion apart from the crowded world of hyperspectral companies is the ability to identify chemicals within a video in true real-time. Simply put, it’s not real-time if it’s not snap-shot.”

Formal presentation and acceptance of the R&D 100 award will take place November 1, 2012 in Orlando.

About the ARROW hyperspectral video camera

The ARROW is the first ever video-rate, snapshot hyperspectral imaging system that can be used with all microscope platforms to provide detailed spectral and spatial information for the biomedical researcher.
The ARROW’s applications present digital immunohistochemical and histological analysis for molecular pathology. This significantly expands the data capabilities from fluorescent techniques, such as FRET.
The ARROW also produces real time information for in vivo retinal disease detection and cellular examination. In terms of pathogen analysis, the ARROW identifies dynamic characteristics of viral and bacterial strains. Clinically, the ARROW can be applied to real time imaging in endoscopy and diagnostic laparoscopy.
