Fairchild Imaging (USA) is proposing the Osprey CCD/CAM-4KTDI. This is an ultra-sensitive camera for use in line scan applications that demand high performance under low light conditions. It features a 4096 x 96 TDI CCD imager, in-house built by Fairchild Imaging, that provides anti-blooming and programmable gain and offset. With four outputs at 25MHz per output, so an outstanding 100MHz total, the Osprey 4k delivers line rates up to 23k lines per second with 8-bit synchronous data.

The Osprey is ideal for challenging imaging and industrial inspection applications where time delay integration (TDI) technology can deliver dramatically higher sensitivity than previous line scan solutions. The Osprey camera also provides a selectable number of TDI stages to customize the level of sensitivity required for your application.

The CCD sensor is sensible from UV to Near-IR. It represents the ideal low-light fast high resolution camera for multiple applications like Flat Panel Display application, OCR, Web inspection, Biomedical Diagnostic Systems, aerial imaging, etc… And with a fiber-bonded X-Ray scintillator, it can be used in different application like X-Ray Dental scanning, or X-Ray Security screening. The Osprey-4K camera is available in housed version (CE-marked) or in OEM-Board version.

Distributed in UK, France and Italy by BFi OPTiLAS, Fairchild Imaging (USA) is proposing a line of very low-noise, multi-port, cooled scientific cameras based on world re-knowned Fairchild Imaging very large CCD sensor, 4096x4096 pixels, and 15μ pitch. All the cameras are cooled down to -60ºC with thermoelectric or cryogenic coolers. There are 2 models of cameras based on this CCD.

Peregrine486, available in either front-illuminated or back-illuminated version, is proposed with a vacuum flange for connection to special optics or to vacuum chambers.

• Condor486 is available with different bonded fiber optics (tapers or faceplates).
• Condor 486:90 features a 1:1 fiber taper that provides a 90mm diameter faceplate
• Condor 486:135 features a 1.5:1 fiber taper that provides a 135mm diameter faceplate, and the unique Condor 486:200 features a 2.2:1 fiber taper that provides an incredible 200mm diameter faceplate!

Fairchild Imaging scientific cameras find widespread use in such varied applications as electron microscopy, high throughput screening (HTS), micro array and microtiter plate analysis, non-destructive testing (NDT), x-ray crystallography, x-ray inspection and other high-performance imaging applications.

All These cameras are now available for with USB-2 digital interface for an easier connection to PC.

IRCAM GmbH, Germany, European manufacturer of High-resolution infrared cameras, and BFi OPTiLAS International are pleased to announce a pan-European agreement. BFi OPTiLAS will become the channels to market the IRCAM range of complete turn-key IR camera systems consisting of an IR camera with IR lens, a control unit and specific software.

The distribution agreement covers Switzerland, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and UK.

Thermal Infrared Camera product range includes:

• Geminis Series: Dual band IR camera - The first dual band IR camera on the market! It acquires MWIR and LWIR images synchronously
• Taurus Series: Maximum pixel rate of 18 Mpixels/s - fast and flexible IR camera for general purposes
• Velox Series: Maximum pixel rate 80 Mpixels/s - the perfect IR cameras for high-speed applications. Velox’s cameras reach the highest speed amongst all IR cameras

All IRCAM cameras are equipped with a standard Camera Link interface, which allows to easily connect them to modern frame grabbers and integrate them into image acquisition systems.

IRCAM infrared cameras are specially developed and manufactured for measurement applications in research, thermography and industrial non-destructive testing. They are qualified for thermography (thermal imaging of contact-less temperature measurements), radiometry (radiation measurements), passive infrared imaging and for active IR imaging measurements such as pulse thermography and Lock-In Thermography.
