Want to build multi-spectral imaging device for cheap

[jaysorbitals]

Hi guys I want to know if it is possible to construct a multi-spectral imaging device inexpensively as a vein finder. what would be involved? There is a med device that has augmented reality to it and has a lot of other functionality but i think it costs about 10-15k. My budget is about $1000.. Where to start?

Welcome to the PF.

Why are you asking about multi-spectral? The vein imagers mainly use IR, I believe.
