A proof-of-concept video camera for active spectral imaging nondestructive evaluation has been demonstrated. An active multispectral imaging technique has been implemented in the visible and near infrared by using light emitting diodes with wavelengths spanning from 400 to 970 nm. This shows how the camera can be used in nondestructive evaluation to inspect surfaces and spectrally identify materials and corrosion.

A series of PLGA (poly L-lactide-co-glycolide) based composites modified with gel-derived glasses in the form of foils were obtained by solvent casting procedure. As a modifier, glass particles with different chemical compositions from the CaO–SiO2, CaO–P2O5–SiO2, and Al2O3–SiO2 systems were used. All glasses were synthesized by the sol-gel process. Evaluation of bioactive properties of obtained composites was made on the basis of surface changes occurring during contact with simulated body fluid. The changes of Ca, P and Si ions concentration in SBF after incubation of composites were also measured. The result showed that all composites with bioglasses (CaO–SiO2, CaO–P2O5–SiO2) exhibit formation of calcium phosphates layer after SBF test, however, kinetics of Ca, Si ion release and P uptake from SBF was dependent on bioglass chemical composition. The higher solubility, as well as faster consumption of phosphorus from SBF, was observed for materials from CaO–SiO2 (T1/PLGA, S1/PLGA) compared to composites with respective bioglass particles from the CaO–P2O5–SiO2(T2/PLGA, S2/PLGA). Our results showed that rate of Si and Ca release from the gel-derived glasses and P uptake from SBF are dependent on both: the concentration of respective ions in the materials and the presence of phosphates in their structure. For materials modified with gel-derived glasses from Al2O3–SiO2 system no significant surface changes during contact with SBF were observed, and it seems that their behavior in physiological solution indicate that they are bio-inert materials.

A new multispectral imaging spectrometer which is capable of simultaneously recording spectral images in the visible and near infrared has been developed. In this instrument, an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is used to diffract an unpolarised incident light into two diffracted beams with orthogonal polarisation. One of the beams is detected by a silicon camera for the visible region while the other is detected in the near infrared (NIR) region (from 1000 to 1700nm) with an NIR camera. The imaging spectrometer is sensitive, inexpensive and field deployable because it is based on a camera using the recently available InGaAs focal plane arrays which are low-cost and can be sensitively operated at room temperature. The imaging spectrometer was used for measurements which previously were not possible. These include the kinetic determination of curing of an epoxy resin by amine, and the detection of reaction products from solid-phase peptide synthesis. Rates of reactions between epoxy and amine were found to be very inhomogeneous. Because of this kinetic inhomogeneity, differences in the degrees of cure at different positions within the sample can be as high as 37% when data from only a single pixel were used for calculation. The inhomogeneity was not observed if the average of a large number of pixels was used. The NIR imaging spectrometer was also used for the kinetic determination and identification of products formed during the solid phase peptide synthesis of glycine, alanine and valine mediated by aminomethylstyrene resin beads. Because this NIR imaging spectrometer can measure spectra at different positions within a sample, it was used for the first demonstration in which reactions of three different solid-phase peptide syntheses (in a three-compartment cell) were simultaneously monitored. Since relatively good spectra can be obtained by using data recorded by a single pixel and because the NIR camera has 240×320 pixels, this NIR multispectral imaging technique is not limited to three-compartment cell used in this study but rather can be used as the detection method for solid-phase peptide synthesis in combinatorial chemistry.
