iCam

This series of cameras aims to making the most of readout speed of Kodak KAF sensors: the goal to reach is the best possible performance by exploiting its high sensitivity in the shortest possible image downloading time. Every component is integrated in the aluminium head: CCD, electromechanical shutter, Single stage Peltier cooling system, electronics. An external motorized filter wheel is available, as optional. The camera is connected to the PC by means of a FDL Interface card (alternatively, a fiber optic connection can be made).
Thanks to its cooling method, 12-bit (multirange) A/D converter and remarkable speed during image acquisition, iCAM is the ideal solution to shoot extremely weaks events, subject to quick changes.
Among the main application fields: Biology, Astronomy, Plasma Physics, Semiconductor Physics.
