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This module uses a sensor TCD1304DG, in which the standard cover glass has been replaced by a quartz glass (TCD1304DG-Q). This extends the sensitivity in the blue spectral range, in which the conventional glass material would otherwise absorb and in some cases also in the near UV. A special UV coating is available as a further option for a significant expansion of the spectral range into UV.

The cover glass is removed and the quartz glass is applied in-house at Eureca using specially developed processes. All sensors are tested for their function after replacing the cover glasses on the respective camera module.

Since the sensor is mounted on the module, it can easily be replaced by another sensor version if required. This can e. g. be the sensors in the standard version. But sensors only without a cover glass or sensors with special filters are also possible here.

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.
