Hyperspectral imaging is rapidly advancing and transforming industries such as agriculture, medicine, and defense. The introduction of HERA, a new hyperspectral camera, is a notable development in this field. Utilizing a Fourier-transform approach, HERA consists of a monochromatic camera, camera lens, and an innovative common-path birefringent interferometer. By scanning the interferometer's position and capturing a sequence of monochromatic images, the hyperspectral data-cube is acquired without any camera or sample movement. This approach offers advantages like high light throughput, signal-to-noise ratio, and wavelength accuracy. HERA's exceptional light throughput enables high-quality data even in low-illuminance conditions and fluorescence studies. Additionally, its flexibility and stability allow for integration with commercial microscopes, expanding the applications of hyperspectral imaging to the microscopy field. This work focuses on showcasing HERA's significant applications in microbiology.
