Research and teaching discount

We are always particularly pleased when our line scan cameras are also used in research. Therefore, we extend our activities in the field of research and education and offer a special discount on our USB line scan cameras for use in these areas. This discount is valid for orders from recognized institutes and educational institutions. It is sufficient to inform us briefly and informally about the intended use of the cameras in research or teaching.

Our line scan cameras are characterized by their compactness and excellent value. Their easy integration using programming languages such as Python ensures a seamless fit into your research projects and educational activities. In addition, we offer several specialized sensor variants, including models without cover glass, equipped with custom filters, quartz glass or UV coatings.

Furthermore, we provide an open-source construction kit that allows you to create intriguing measurement devices such as Czerny-Turner spectrometers on your own. Our website regularly features updated application examples with suggestions for engaging experiments to explore the diverse potential of our technology.

Examples from research

In some projects, our line scan cameras have already been successfully used as detectors.

Folded beam path architecture for highly efficient filter-based spectral sensors

As an example, we would like to mention the work of Aliaksei Kobylinskiy, Lukas Werner, Matthias Kraus, Hartmut Hillmer and Robert Brunner.

They examined a folded beam path architecture for highly efficient filter-based spectral sensors, with which an efficiency increase of up to 100 times can be achieved compared to systems with conventional illumination principles.

A do-it-yourself Czerny–Turner spectrometer: atomic emission, absorption, reflection and fluorescence spectroscopy in natural sciences

Another scientific work using our line scan cameras presents the publication of Mattis Leo Volker Osterheider, which resulted in a dissertation.

A modular Open Hardware based DIY high-end spectrometer is used for mediating the subject of optical spectroscopy. For this purpose, different, partly novel formats are used or developed to significantly increase the accessibility of the subject within different target groups with partly fundamentally different needs (school education, the maker movement, extracurricular education, and university education).
