Osprey TDI CCD Cameras
The CAM/CCD 2K and 4K TDI Osprey camera line is an ultra-sensitive camera for use in line scan applications that demand high performance under low light conditions. The Osprey cameras employ either a 2048 x 96 or 4096 x 96 TDI imaging sensor with selectable TDI lengths.
The Osprey camera provides 4-port, 8-bit synchronous data. Each camera features anti-blooming, programmable gain and offset and correlated double sampling (CDS).
For further information on the TDI CCD sensors at the heart of these cameras please see our FAIRCHILD IMAGING image sensors page.
Owl CMOS Line Scan Cameras
The CAM/CMOS-2K Owl camera line is an ultra-sensitive camera for use in line scan applications that demand high performance under low light conditions. The camera is based upon a 2K CMOS linear sensor that utilizes an Active Reset technology to obtain extremely low noise performance while operating at high data rates. The camera operates in two modes; RDI (Read During Integration) and MRDI (Multiple Read During Integration). The camera offers anti-blooming, programmable gain and offset, a Camera Link® interface and is packaged in a compact rugged housing which supports standard lens mounts. The ultra-sensitive Owl camera excels at line scan applications such as machine vision and industrial inspection.
Matrix CCD Cameras for Scientific Applications
  Matrix CCD cameras for scientific applications To capture, image and analyze complex scientific image data FAIRCHILD IMAGING has developed a line of low-noise, multiport, cooled scientific cameras utilizing their own large area focal plane array technology.
The cooled cameras work at a sensor temperature down to -50° degree Celsius, which is achieved by an internal active peltier cooling. By this the noise is reduced significant, which increases the performance of the high end sensor types used even more. Some models also provide a scinillator for x-ray applications or a fiber optic window entrance, which allows e.g. the mounting to image intensifiers without losses of lights for low light applications.
At present there are available three different camera series:
- Condor: 6cm x 6xm CCD with different Fiber optics and scintillators, cooled
- Peregrine: high resolution frontside- and backside illuminated sensors, cooled
All cameras provide a high end readout electronic, which minimizes the signal noise also at high pixel frequencies. The readout of the cameras is made via several parallel outputs. The pixel size of all sensors are 15μm x 15μm.
For decades FAIRCHILD IMAGING has remained dedicated to providing the highest performance optical imaging systems in the world. These scientific camera detectors have been used to image everything from stellar objects at the far reaches of the universe to the molecular details of biological structures.
Examples for other applications are electron microscopy, HTS (High Throughput Screening), analysis of micro arrays and micro titer plates, non-destructive testing methods, x-ray crystallography and x-ray inspections. Interference filters with high transmission and suitable lenses can also be supplied by EURECA. We advise you gladly in order to choose the best components.
