The Hamamatsu C4880-21 Digital CCD Camera System is equipped with a CCD S7170
manufactured by Hamamatsu. In addition to outstanding
quantum efficiency in the ultra violet to near infrared region,
which is a feature of the back-thinned illumination type, this
system offers high quantum efficiency in the ultraviolet
region as well, drawing on original technology developed
independently by HAMAMATSU. It offers a wide dynamic
range, due to the large cell size and the
extremely large full well capacity. Furthermore, the use of
the MPP (Multi-Pinned Phase) low dark current drive
method has reduced the dark current.
The Hamamatsu C4880-50 Digital CCD Camera System employs a back thinned CCD chip which realizes high resolution and high sensitivity characteristics. 1024 x 1024 pixels with 13 µm square format realize very high resolution images. And its high quantum efficiency grater than 80% and a MPP (Multi-Pinned Phase) low dark current drvie realize high sensitivity, proving clear images for low light imaging applications.
The Hamamatsu C4880-80 Fast Scan Multi Format Cooled CCD Camera System is a low noise/high frame rate camera system that maintains the
superb noise characteristic of the conventional cooled CCD camera, while at the same time adding high speed. In order to achieve both high speed and a low noise characteristic, a progressive scan interline CCD is used, which eliminates
the need for a mechanical shutter. This means that problems
such as vibration caused by the mechanical shutter at high frame
rates, and the lifetime of the mechanical shutter, have been completely eliminated. In addition, taking advantage of the low dark
current characteristic of the CCD used in these models, cooling
can be suppressed to the minimum necessary level, and by
switching from a conventional forced cooling system to a system
which discharges heat by natural means, operation is significantly improved.
The Hamamatsu C4880-91 and C4880-92 Digital CCD Camera System has an image intensifier ( Φ 18 mm dia.) coupled through a fiber optics to Hamamatsu's CCD S5466. This provides ultra-high sensitivity.
Under a low light level region that requires a long time exposure
time, this camera can acquire equivalent S/N images within a
shorter period of time. Furthermore, the ultra high speed gating
function (shortest gate time: 5 ns) and gate repetition function
(maximum rate: 10 kHz) have been implemented. Acquisition of
images in synchronization with repetitive phenomenon enables
image accumulation by the CCD. This provides images with a
higher S/N ratio compared to accumulation using memory.
The C4880-85 Hamamatsu Multi-Format CCD Camera may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
