Δ T of ≥ 35°C, and uses a Peltier with secondary air cooling. A water cooled version for deeper cooling is also available.The camera has a fast 10MHz readout rate with digitisation to 12 bits and also features a high dynamic range 16-bit mode.The camera features on chip binning and sub area readout.

CoolView — VHR

The CoolView VHR is a high resolution CCD camera which has 4000 x 2672 pixels and interline transfer architecture which allows the CCD to operate without a shutter and at 100% duty cycle. The CCD has a high quantum efficiency of typically 45% @ 550nm.The camera is deep cooled with

Specification

On chip binning – user selectable: from 1 x 1 to 8 x 8. Sub-area readout – user selectable in X and Y. Progressive Scan Interline Transfer CCD sensor with 100% duty cycle. CCD sensor with typically > 45 %QE @ 550 nm gives excellent sensitivity. 4008(h) x 2672(v) pixels, 9 µ square. Total CCD noise @ 10 MHz
