VeroVision™ Threat Detector
ChemImage closed business in April 2023.
DISCONTINUED - ChemImage’s VeroVision is a SWIR hyperspectral imaging device that provides near real-time, standoff detection of explosive, narcotic and chemical threat residues on surfaces.
VeroVision is designed for non-contact, passive sensing which eliminates the need for hazardous reagents or excitation lasers. It also contains objective, automated detection which eliminates the need for operator interpretation of the results.
