High Resolution Digital B/W CCD Camera: ORCA ER Specifications
The ORCA-ER is a next-generation B/W CCD digital camera using an advanced progressive scan interline CCD chip with high sensitivity in the VIS-NIR region and substantially better noise characteristics at high frame rates. The Peltier cooled, hermetically sealed vacuum head is cooled to -20 °C, reducing dark noise and minimizing thermal drift which makes this camera an ideal choice for demanding scientific and industrial applications.
RS422A digital output ensures compatibility with a large number of commercially available frame grabber boards. In addition, a standard C-mount lens coupling makes it easy to connect to optical microscopes and lenses. Fast electronic shuttering, fast readout and low noise integration all combine to make this camera a great choice for both high and low level imaging applications
