Description The Pantera 1M60 and 1M30 digital cameras provide high-sensitivity 12-bit images with a 1k x 1k spatial resolution. The cameras use DALSA’s TrueFrame progressive scan CCDs to simultaneously achieve outstanding resolution and gray scale characteristics. A square pixel format and high fill factor provide superior, quantifiable image quality even at low light levels. -
