1. An apparatus for analyzing the skin of a subject, the apparatus comprising:

  • a hyperspectral sensor for obtaining a hyperspectral image of said subject;

    a control computer for controlling the hyperspectral sensor, wherein the control computer is in electronic communication with the hyperspectral sensor and wherein the control computer controls at least one operating parameter of the hyperspectral sensor, and wherein the control computer comprises a processor unit and a computer readable memory;

    a control software module, stored in the computer readable memory and executed by the processor unit, the control software comprising instructions for controlling said at least one operating parameter of the hyperspectral sensor;

    a spectral calibrator module, stored in the computer readable memory and executed by the processor unit, the spectral calibrator module comprising instructions for applying a wave-length dependent spectral calibration standard constructed for the hyperspectral sensor to a hyperspectral image collected by the hyperspectral sensor; and

    a light source that illuminates the skin of the subject for the hyperspectral sensor.
