Intensified Digital CCD Camera

The MAXICAM3000 is an all-digital gated Intensified CCD Camera. The MAXICAM3000 contains a GEN III Image Intensifier fiber optically coupled to a progressive scan 1300(H) x 1030(V) CCD operating at a 10-bit level. The camera is compatible with any C-Mount lens made for a 1" TV Format.

The GEN III Image Intensifier has been selected to give the highest response of any image intensifier in the Visible to Near IR spectrum. This intensifier can achieve over 35% quantum efficiency (QE) and a light gain of 80,000. Other Photocathode options are available for higher QE, Extended Blue and Pinnacle performance. A UV version is available with response from 200nm to 700nm.

The MAXICAM3000 has been made to operate completely from computer control. The computer controls all functions such as

intensifier gain,
intensifier gating,
gating delay,
CCD integration,
camera gain and black level plus
other image functions.

The MAXICAM3000 comes complete with a frame grabber, power supply and C-View software ready to operate. The all-new C-View is a PC based software program for real-time viewing and image capture. C-View includes an integrated camera control panel which encompasses all camera control functions including 5 user programmable, single-click application controls, plus TWAIN and Image Pro drivers to facilitate ease-of-use with popular imaging programs.
