Ultra-wide rangeIn-Depth Product Introduction
ExView HAD CCD Sensor Technology
Equipped with Sony ExView HAD CCD sensors, this is advanced CCD technology specifically optimized for low-light imaging. ExView technology, through special sensor structural design, extends the spectral response range from traditional visible light (380-700 nm) to the near-infrared region (approximately 380-1000 nm). This extended spectral response significantly improves sensor imaging sensitivity in dark field and low-light environments, while reducing noise generated by scattered light through optimized photoelectric conversion mechanisms. This provides significant value for low-light applications such as fluorescence microscopy and dark field observation.
Optimized USB 2.0 Data Transfer
Utilizes fast USB 2.0 protocol with optimized data transfer algorithms to ensure stable transmission of high-resolution images and video. Typical models achieve 15 fps at 1360×1024 resolution and up to 72 fps at 640×480 resolution, fully meeting real-time preview and dynamic observation requirements. Built-in data buffering and transfer optimization technology effectively prevent frame drops, ensuring stability during long-term acquisition. The widespread compatibility of the USB 2.0 interface also ensures plug-and-play experience across various computer systems.
FPGA Long-Exposure Control Technology
Built-in high-performance FPGA chip provides precise exposure time control, supporting an ultra-wide exposure range from 0.06 ms to 1 hour. This precise long-exposure capability is particularly suitable for capturing details of extremely weak light or fluorescent samples. FPGA control not only ensures exposure time precision but also eliminates drift and noise accumulation issues in long exposures through hardware-level timing control. This provides ideal solutions for research applications requiring longer integration times, such as bioluminescence and chemiluminescence.
Precise Ultra-Fine Color Processing
Built-in Ultra-Fine color processing engine employs advanced color algorithms for precise reproduction of true colors and image details. Supports 8-bit and 12-bit data output, with 12-bit mode providing 4096 gray levels, effectively extending dynamic range. Supports ROI region white balance and manual Temp-Tint adjustment, adapting to complex and variable lighting environments. The color engine is optimized for ExView sensor wide-spectrum characteristics, ensuring accurate imaging from visible light to near-infrared wavelengths.
High-Reliability Mechanical Design
Features precision CNC-machined aluminum alloy housing with robust and compact construction. Natural heat dissipation design completely eliminates fan noise and vibration effects on imaging, which is particularly important for long exposures and high-magnification microscopy imaging. No mechanical moving parts design greatly improves system reliability and reduces maintenance requirements. Standard C-mount design ensures excellent compatibility with various microscope systems. This industrial-grade design philosophy enables the camera to operate stably for extended periods in various environments.
