Description

VIS-SWIR Camera Ninox 640 -20°C VGA Scientific Digital InGaAs

The Ninox-640 is a cooled, high sensitivity digital VIS-SWIR camera. Using a 640 x 512 InGaAs sensor from SCD the Ninox 640 enables high sensitivity imaging from 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm. 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. With TEC and liquid cooling to -20 °C the Ninox 640 reduces dark current to ~1,500e/p/s, allowing longer exposures. Available with a 14 bit CameraLink output, the Ninox 640 will run from 10 to 120Hz enabling high speed digital video with intelligent auto AGC.

Key features of the VIS-SWIR camera Ninox

  • Cooled VIS-SWIR technology 
  • 15 µm x 15 µm pixel pitch – Enables highest resolution VIS-SWIR image
  • 50 electrons readout noise in high gain – Enables highest VIS-SWIR detection limit
  • Cooled to -20 °C – Enables low dark current for longer exposures
  • Ultra high intrascene dynamic range – 70dB. – Enables similtaneous capture of bright & dark portions of a scene
  • On-board Automated Gain Control (AGC) – Enables clear video in all light conditions
  • On-board intelligent 3 point NUC – Enables highest quality images
