The miniaturization of spectroscopic measurement devices opens novel information channels in medical science and consumer electronics. Scientists of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, developed a 3-D-printed miniature spectrometer with a volume of 100 by 100 by 300 μm3 and a spectral resolution of up to 10 nm in the visible range. This spectrometer can be manufactured directly onto camera sensors, and a parallel arrangement allows for quick ("snapshot") and low-profile, highly customizable hyperspectral cameras.
