High resolution, low noise, digital VIS-SWIR camera
The OWL 640 Digital is a rugged, high sensitivity digital VIS-SWIR camera. Using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the camera enables high sensitivity imaging from 0.4µm to 1.7µm. The 15µm x 15µm pixel pitch enables highest resolution VIS-SWIR image and with less than 50 electrons readout noise, the OWL 640 enables the highest VIS-SWIR detection limit.
Available with a Camera Link output, the OWL 640 Digital will run up to 120Hz, enabling high speed digital video with intelligent Automated Gain Control (AGC). This new on-board AGC will enable clear video in all light conditions.
It is available in both C-mount and M42-mount.
