30 Apr 2009 Hamamatsu has launched the new ORCA-R2 "Rapid Readout" digital CCD camera. Building on the success of the established, market-leading ORCA AG and based on the same exclusive ER-150 progressive scan interline 1344 x 1024 pixel CCD, the new ORCA-R2 is designed to maintain Hamamatsu’s competitive edge for demanding, non-EM CCD applications in the visible to NIR.
The ORCA-R2 has two scan speeds; a normal scan speed of 14MHz and a rapid scan speed of 28MHz which deliver full resolution 1.37M pixel images at 8.5 frames/second and 16.2 frames/second respectively. With binning, the ORCA-R2 has a maximum frame rate of 64.3 frames/second. Data output is via Firewire IEEE 1394b. |
