N2 - Editor's Note: This paper describes an affordable Raspberry Pi-based camera system that students can build to perform multispectral imaging, an analysis tool relevant to many fields. The authors promote an open-ended approach to the design, construction, and use of the system, pointing to several possible multispectral imaging applications that students can undertake; a study of banana ripening is presented. This project originated in a course taught to students in developing countries, but its low-cost, undergraduate-accessible demonstration of an advanced imaging technique will be of interest to all advanced instructional laboratory professors.
