Abstract: An imaging spectrometric instrument is disclosed. This instrument can include an imaging detector and one or more calibration standards having different optical properties. Portions of one or more actuators can move the calibration standards between the imaging detector and a sample. This instrument can use the actuator(s) to acquire an image of a sample and measure light and dark reference calibration values in quick succession at a given wavelength, before the instrument is tuned to another wavelength.
