ML23042 BI CCD Camera with Grade 1 Sensor
If you are planning to buy a CCD camera with high quantum efficiency, a large dynamic range, and a wide imaging area, the ML23042 CCD Camera is your solution. This camera features a deep full well capacity and an excellent cooling mechanism. It utilizes a midband back-illuminated CCD230-42 of grade 1, ensuring the minimum number of defective pixels—making it an ideal choice for astrophotography, where every single photon counts.
MicroLine Series CCD Camera
FLI’s MicroLine CCD cameras typically employ an air-cooled sensor cooling system that cools the sensor to 60°C below ambient temperature, reaching operational temperatures in just 5 minutes. You also have the option to purchase liquid-based cooling for even greater efficiency.
Other Properties:
- Digitization up to 12 MHz (16-bit)
- Heavyweight performance in a compact 1.2 kg package
- RBI Anti-Ghosting Technology standard
- Streaming mode with interline sensors
- Small footprint (3.7 x 3.7 x 5 in)
- Capable of single, dual, or quad output (4 channels)
These features make the MicroLine CCD series ideal for various scientific applications, including x-ray imaging, fluorescence, bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, solar panel inspection, gel documentation, astronomical imaging, digital radiography, and forensic imaging.
