High resolution, low noise, cooled, digital VIS-SWIR camera
Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor, and cooling it to -15°C, the Ninox 1280 offers visible extension from 0.4µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity scientific imaging. The 10µm x 10µm pixel pitch enables the highest resolution imaging. It will offer less than 40 electrons readout noise combined with one of the lowest dark current readings on the market. The camera will offer ultra-high intrascene dynamic range of 68dB enabling simultaneous capture of bright & dark portions of a scene.
Available with a 12-bit Camera Link output, the OWL 1280 will run from 10Hz up to 60Hz. The camera will feature on-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) which will enable the best contrast imaging from low to bright light as well as an on-board intelligent 3 point Non-Uniform Correction (NUC) algorithm, providing the highest quality images. As with all Raptor cameras, the Ninox 1280 is compact and rugged.
