Corning® microHSI™ 425 Shark

The Corning® microHSI™ 425 SHARK is the first commercially available hyperspectral imaging system to cover the full 400–2,500 nm spectral range using a single optical path and sensor. Engineered for airborne, industrial, and scientific missions, this lightweight and rugged solution delivers high-resolution spectral data with unmatched efficiency.

Optimized for low-SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) performance, the SHARK integrates Corning’s proprietary diamond-turned optics and compact hardware into a 7 lb package—including spectrograph, telescope, camera, navigation, onboard computer, and 1 TB of storage.

With 468 spectral bands and flexible collection modes, users can capture complete hyperspectral cubes or select specific bands for tailored data products—reducing memory use and post-processing time. Ideal for precision agriculture, gas detection, mining, healthcare, and industrial inspection, the SHARK is built to withstand demanding environments while delivering mission-critical insights.
