These
Line Cameras are innovate electro-optical transducer assemblies
for high speed detection of optical radiation. They provide digital outputs of
electro-optical signals so that, in conjunction with microprocessors or personal
computers, evaluation of signals can be readily implemented without the user having to
possess specialized knowledge of electronics. The cameras may be used as direct
replacements for single detector, scanning spectrometers and spectrophotometers, as well
as being used for precise measurements in low light level conditions. The cooled
series use photo diode array detectors from Hamamatsu. These detectors have integrated
Peltier cooling. The camera housing has a large heatsink to absorb heat created in the
cooling process as well as a fan which will be switched on if the heatsink is not enough
generally only needed in very warm conditions). The detector is cooled to a temperature of
-10°C. (lower on request). This makes long integration times possible for detecting very
low light levels. Because the cooling is inside the detector housing there is no problem
with condensation on the faceplate.
