CHROMA series is characterized by high sensitivity, fast image
downloading, reduced weight and dimensions. This includes the
cameras: CHROMA CX 3, CHROMA C3 Plus and CHROMA C4 (just as
PRELIMINARY).
All this kinds use Kodak KAF CCD sensors, displaying a wide
range of resolutions and pixels dimensions. The sensors are
front-illuminated, supported by an excellent Quantum Efficiency.
All of them (apart to those with the antiblooming option) can
offer a 100% fill factor, allowing one to shoot marvellous images.
Among the main application fields: Biology, Astronomy, Plasma
Physics, Semiconductor Physics.
The CHROMA C3 Plus is an upgrade for the CHROMA CX 3: it has
a better resolution due to 16 bit A/D Converter, a readout speed
>= 1Mpixel/s and, more, it is equipped of three integrated
peripherals:
1) two 32-bit generators able to yield impulses starting from
100 ns with internal time base, or from 20 ns with external
time base;
2) a 32-bit time delay with a 100 ns step with an internal time
base or 20 ns with external time base;
By means of these three devices, you can run an MCP, a LASER
or other external devices, as well as synchronize them to the
image acquisition.
