EXCCD Series
Product Introduction
The EXCCD series features C-mount USB2.0 microscopy CCD cameras utilizing Sony ExView HAD CCD sensors (model-dependent) that convert more near-infrared light into effective signals, extending sensitivity from visible light to near-infrared wavelengths while reducing readout noise, making them suitable for low-light and fluorescence applications requiring high sensitivity. The cameras employ FPGA precision timing control supporting long exposures up to approximately 3600 s, facilitating capture of extremely weak signals. Stable data transmission is achieved through USB2.0 connectivity, with included ToupView software and cross-platform SDK support (Windows/Linux/macOS/Android) for convenient system integration and secondary development.

Precision hardware timingIn-Depth Technology Overview
Sony ExView HAD CCD Technology
ExView HAD sensors extend quantum efficiency from visible to near-infrared wavelengths (approximately 380–1000 nm), dramatically improving low-light performance. Optimized photodiode structures reduce noise from stray light, making EXCCD cameras ideal for fluorescence, darkfield, and astronomy applications that demand heightened sensitivity.
Optimized USB2.0 Data Pipeline
A dedicated buffer and tuned USB2.0 protocol maintain stable streaming even at high resolutions. Typical models deliver around 15 fps at 1360 × 1024 and up to 72 fps at 640 × 480, providing responsive live view and capture. The single-cable design supplies both power and data, simplifying mobile and laboratory setups.
FPGA-Based Long Exposure Control
Integrated FPGA timing supports exposures from 0.06 ms to 1 hour. Hardware-level control keeps long exposures stable, minimizing drift and accumulated noise. This capability is crucial for capturing extremely weak fluorescence, luminescence, or other faint signals that require extended integration.
Ultra-Fine Color Processing
The Ultra-Fine color engine handles tone, saturation, and gamma correction in hardware. Output is available in 8-bit or 12-bit formats, with 12-bit delivering 4096 grayscale levels for wider dynamic range. ROI white balance and manual Temp/Tint adjustment help adapt to diverse illumination environments.
Robust Fanless Mechanical Design
CNC-machined aluminum housings provide excellent rigidity and passive heat dissipation. The fanless design eliminates vibration and acoustic noise, which is critical for long exposures and high magnification imaging. A standard C-mount enables seamless integration with microscopes, telescopes, and custom optical assemblies.
