Go big infrared: Husker imaging system streamlines analysis of seeds

A close-up of a hyperspectral data cube, or hypercube, a form of data readout that captures both the 2D spatial dimensions of seeds and a range of wavelengths reflecting from those seeds. Husker researchers have developed a new imaging system, HyperSeed, that uses infrared wavelengths to analyze the traits of grains produced under the stresses of heat and drought.
