This
high performance digital 12 bit CCD camera system is perfectly
suited for life science and machine vision applications, where
an excellent image quality and high offset stability is required.
The pco.1300 has an remarkable quantum efficiency of up to 65%.
At the heart of the camera is an FPGA processor allowing for sophisticated
control and accurate timing of the CCD and associated electronics.
In addition a proprietary offset control algorithm has been developed
which provides very high offset stability, regardless of ambient
temperature or signal changes ensuring accurate and repeatable
quantitative data over long periods of time. Binning, cooling,
as well as other features of the camera can be selected and optimized
to accomodate the user¡®s application. The camera features excellent
resolution (1392 x 1040 pixel), 12 bit dynamic range, exposure
times from 5 ¥ìs - 1 hour, internal frame buffer for continuous
image capture (64 MB min.), excellent low noise of 6 e- rms @
10 MHz, cooling of -25 ¡ÆC versus ambient temperature, standard
interface IEEE1394a ("FireWire"), optimal offset stability
and control (< 1 count/h). This low light camera system
is perfectly suited for many sensitive and low noise imaging
applications, such as biochip reading, fluorescence imaging,
confocal & light microscopy etc..
