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 good 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.
