Optical measurement, built for liquids that aren't clear.

Spec-Imaging builds optical instruments for color, UV-Vis absorbance and particle analysis in complex industrial liquids. The technology traces back to more than a decade of laser-based diagnostics research in the Physics department at Lund University — now developed into instruments for real industrial processes, not laboratory conditions.

— Where the technology comes from

A decade of research, built into an industrial instrument.

THE RESEARCH
  • Over a decade of laser-based diagnostics research in the Physics department at Lund University
  • Recognized with a Proof of Concept grant from the European Research Council
  • Prototyping from 2019; Spec-Imaging founded in 2020
THE INSTRUMENT
  • +Structured Illumination, Instant Clarity™ and Spec-AI™ turn that research into instruments built for real process liquids
  • +Tested with samples across sugar, wastewater, food & beverage, minerals, chemicals and biotech
  • +Every public claim is benchmarked against a reference method before it's published
— Milestones

From research grant to industrial deployment.

2020

Spec-Imaging is formed

Founded as a Lund University spin-off, bringing years of optical research into an industrial company.

2021

The first system is built

William Chaze prototypes the first Spec-Imaging system in his garage in Eslöv. Later that year, Stena New Ventures invests.

2022

From garage to Ideon

Spec-Imaging joins Ideon Innovation and establishes its base in Lund. Mellby Gård and Feralco join as investors.

2023

Into real industrial processes

A Vinnova-funded project with NSVA and Lund University brings the technology into wastewater process validation.

2024

From incubator to industrial company

Spec-Imaging moves into its own facilities at Ideon Science Park as product development and industrial validation expand.

2025

Building the product platform

Development broadens from individual prototypes into a portfolio for color, spectral process monitoring and particle sizing, with growing industrial application work.

2026

Entering the next growth phase

Commercialization accelerates and Sandberg Development joins as a new industrial owner.
