Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
Infrared Imaging at Telecomms Wavelengths
The widely used Electrophysics 7290A Micronviewer Infrared camera has now been enhanced with increased sensitivity at both 1310nm and 1550nm.
This high-performance digital CCD camera with FireWire interface (IEEE1394) is available in monochrome or colour models.
"The ultracompact EC1380 incorporates the incomparable Sony ICX285 CCD progressive scan sensor with ExView HAD technology making it one of the most sensitive cameras on the market".
"This camera marks a new height of performance and image quality that, until now, was found only in much more expensive cameras".
"The EC1380 is the smallest, and fastest '285-based FireWire camera on the market and represents the highest quality machine vision camera", said Marty Furse, CEO of Prosilica.
"This camera is ideal for a wide range of applications where sensitivity, image quality, size, weight or frame rates are key requirements".
The EC1380 has been optimised for speed and miniaturised to fit into tight areas that are common in machine vision and aerospace applications.
The ultracompact size, light weight and rugged design make it ideal for avionics, robotic semiconductor inspection and other applications where size and weight are an issue.
Features such as binning (2x2, 4x4) increase sensitivity and speed and are normally found only on larger, more expensive cameras.
Region of interest readout, multiple colour formats, FireWire interface, external trigger and sync I/O are only some of the advanced features that make the EC1380 such an excellent camera.
The EC1380C colour camera has onboard colour interpolation for RGB24, YUV4:1:1, YUV4:2:2, in addition to raw Bayer output.
The EC1380 is truly plug-and-play.
Software for the camera includes Prosilica's ProViewer application, the camera driver, and Prosilica's ProSDK software development kit which are available to customers free of charge.
The EC1380 is DCAM-compliant (IIDC 1.31) and can be used with a wide range of popular industrial imaging software. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
