IEEE-1394 digital camera technology without a PC
The Sony Digital Imaging Station (DFWS 77) enables non PC users to take advantage of high quality IEEE-1394 digital camera technology with its sharp low noise advantage
The intense optical output is achieved by means of StockerYale's patented "chip-on-board" reflective array (Cobra) technology, a unique innovation in thermal and optical efficiency for LED arrays.
The chip-on-board approach to the module fabrication results in a very closely pitched LED array, giving a virtually unbroken line of semiconductor light, providing a very high level of light uniformity.
The combination of high intensity and superior uniformity results in crystal clear linescan images, and removes the need for any flat field image correction. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
