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.
Every component is integrated in the aluminium head: CCD, electromechanical
shutter, Peltier cooling system, electronics, a motorized filter
wheel (optional). The camera is connected to the PC by means
of a parallel port (alternatively, a fiber optic connection
can be made).
