Early access. Close to the team. Fair price.

The EVAL version of our EDU line scan camera is fully functional and ideal for teaching and laboratory environments that want to work with real data early on – with direct contact to the developers and a reduced introductory price.

Why EVAL?

Guaranteed advantages:

• Early access: Start working with the EDU hardware base now—while we continue to refine the documentation and drivers.
• Direct line: Short paths to the development team instead of ticket loops.
• Introductory price: Fair entry point for departments, laboratories, makers, and schools.
• Help shape the product: Your feedback will be incorporated into the further development of documentation and tools.

Possible disadvantages:

• Minor changes to the specifications may still be possible.
• Minor stumbling blocks during commissioning (depending on the software environment) are possible.

However, we respond quickly, provide fixes/workarounds, and you are in the front row.

Transparency note: The EVAL version is not currently intended for safety-critical applications!

Who is it suitable for?

Professors, research assistants, doctoral students, dedicated teachers & students, and makers who like to be the first to see results.

Possible applications:

• Spectroscopy / Spectrometry
• Edge detection
• Position control
• Measuring objects

This module uses the TCD1304DG sensor without the standard cover glass (TCD1304DG-X) and is therefore suitable for measurement tasks that would otherwise cause interference or reflections on the cover glass. Examples include: Beam profile analysis or applications using coherent light sources.

The cover glass is removed internally at Eureca using a specially developed process. After removing the cover glass, all sensors are tested for their function on the respective camera module and taped with a protective film for transport. This must be removed before using the module. If you need permanent protection, we recommend a cover with quartz glass (TCD1304DG-Q).

Since the sensor is socketed, it can easily be replaced by another sensor version if required. This can e. g. be the sensors in the standard version. However, sensors coated with Lumogen to expand the usable spectral range into UV or sensors with special filters are also possible.

After replacing the sensor, the module must be recalibrated. A special automatic program is available for this, which is included in the scope of delivery of the modules.

For some of these variants, there are already module versions with the corresponding preinstalled modified sensors. You will find a corresponding list at the end of this page.
