About

JB Hyperspectral Devices is a start-up company founded in 2016 and based in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The prime focus of our work is the design and production of advanced hyperspectral field instruments. Our business is devoted to providing researchers with an avenue for the reliable, accurate and long-term measurement of sun-induced-fluorescence.

Other environmental variables that JB´s systems have been used to monitor include water quality, snow optical properties and plant phenology.

Aside the manufacturing, an established international collaboration with universities, research centres and space agencies, constantly expanding our portfolio by facing new frontiers in the development of technology and applications.
