mega plus EC11000

This special camera design features resolutions as high as the MEGAPLUS ES 11000 system (4008x2672 or 11 mega-pixel resolution), but is unique in that its sensor is actively cooled to 5 �C below ambient temperature, without the need for a fan. This fan-free design reduces the risk of vibration within the camera. The design also separates and isolates the camera's primary electronics from the sensor cooling path, which maximizes cooling efficiency to yield true 12 bits-per-pixel. The use of active Peltier cooling significantly reduces dark noise and thermal drift, making the EC11000 a perfect solution for demanding scientific and industrial applications. For applications requiring additional cooling, an optional external fan is available which cools to 15 �C below ambient.

The design comes in three sensor grades (0, 1, and 2), with class 0 sensors available for the most demanding imaging applications.

Other features include:

• Large 9 µm x 9 µm pixels
• Up to 4.63 frames-per-second with CameraLink
• Selectable 8, 10, and 12 bits-per-pixel
• Binning (2x2, 3x3, and 4x4)
• CameraLink or Firewire interfaces selectable via MEGAPLUS Central control software
