spectrometer measures the momentum of charged tracks
from kaon decays, a ring
imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector tells the team the nature of decay particles, and electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters measure their energy.
Images
from Cassini's ultraviolet
imaging spectrometer (UVIS), obtained
from an unusually close range of about six Saturn radii, provided a look at the changing patterns of faint emissions on scales of a few hundred miles (kilometers) and tied the changes in the auroras to the fluctuating wind of charged particles blowing off the sun and flowing past Saturn.
Then the larger research team used data
from the sensor onboard the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite MEdium Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) to examine how the color of the lake water changed during those years — an indication of the concentration of the toxic blue - green algae present in HABs.
An international team of 32 authors
from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data
from NASA's Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet's vegetated regions.
It consists of a charge - coupled device camera with four color filters spanning wavelengths
from 400 to 970 nm plus a near - infrared
imaging spectrometer covering wavelengths
from 1.25 to 2.5 μm, where the various cryogenic ices are distinguishable via their characteristic vibrational absorption features.
Image
from the Compact Reconnaissance
Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing deposits of impact glass (green) in Alga Crater.
Images
from the Extreme ultraviolet
Imaging Telescope (EIT) and the Coronal Diagnostics
Spectrometer (CDS) on SOHO show the hot gases of the ever - changing corona reacting to the evolving magnetic fields rooted in the solar surface.
Central to the chemical
imaging core is the Waters Synapt G2 - Si high definition mass
spectrometer, which allows mass spectrometric
imaging of tissue sections, and discern disease - related molecules
from the surrounding population.
The distance to the quasar is so great (about 10 billion light - years) that the emitted light is «stretched» by the expansion of the universe
from an invisible ultraviolet wavelength to a visible shade of violet by the time it reaches the 10 - meter Keck I telescope and the LRIS (Low Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer) used for this discovery.
This view combines the sharp
imaging of the Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object
Spectrometer (NICMOS) with color imagery
from a previous Spitzer Space Telescope survey done with its Infrared Astronomy Camera (IRAC).
The photodetector array camera and
spectrometer (PACS) aboard the Herschel Space Observatory allows
imaging observations in the far infrared at unprecedented resolution, i.e. at better than 6» to 12» over the wavelength range of 60 -LCB- \ mu -RCB- m to 210 -LCB- \ mu -RCB- m. Together with the results
from ground - based observations, these spatially resolved data can be modelled to determine the nature of the debris and its evolution more reliably than would be possible
from unresolved data alone.
Over the ocean this includes: sea surface slope and surface current, significant wave height, wind speed and sea level
from radar altimetry at about 10 km resolution: sea surface temperature under cloud free conditions
from the infrared radiometer at about 300 m resolution; chlorophyll a and phytoplankton
from the
imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions at about 300 m resolution.
Over the sea ice field the observations include: sea ice freeboard height and hence sea ice thickness
from radar altimetry; sea ice surface temperature and sea ice drift
from respectively infrared radiometer and
imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions.

from NASA Headquarters to fly the Airborne Visible / Infrared
Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) over these fires.
An international team of 32 authors
from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data
