Overview; Features - Hamamatsu Photonics C9100-02 Instruction Manual

4. OVERVIEW

Electron Multiplier CCD Camera C9100 series is a new type of high sensitivity CCD camera
that has special structure to get the electric gain on the CCD chip.
C9100 series has resolved the issues like the burning, afterglow, lifetime and low resolution,
comparing to the ICCD camera and EB-CCD camera, and also offered the high sensitivity
images on the similar level to the cameras with real time.

5. FEATURES

(1) High Gain
C9100-02 can amplify the electric charge with approximately 2000 times on the CCD
chip and they can detect the objects that the general normal CCD cameras have not
and offer the images with real time.
(2) Digital output
Image signals are converted from analog to digital in the AC adaptor and output
externally as 14 bit digital data. (Transmission line length: Max.10 m, based on
CameraLink.)
(3) Low image distortion
With the CCD, the pixels are arranged geometrically, virtually eliminating image
distortion. And the image processing can be easily done for the measurement thanks
to square pixels.
(4) No burn-in
The burning, which happens on an ICCD camera with an Image Intensifier, is not
found on the Electron Multiplier CCD camera.
(5) Lens mount
C-mount used for the lens mount.
