 Description
|
MC285SPD-L0B0 - TI Japan introduces the MC285SPD-L0B0, a 1M-pixel, charge multiplication CCD video camera with 30 fps video output. This latest ＩＭＰＡＣＴＲＯＮTM camera combines high resolution and real-time imaging with extraordinarily low noise and high quantum efficiency (peak QE >60%). TI's ＩＭＰＡＣＴＲＯＮTM charge multiplication technology is completely immune to common problems of conventional image intensifier technologies such as image burn-in or residual imaging. Furthermore, the charge multiplication gain is variable, allowing for adjustments to suit a wide range of light conditions. The MC285SPD-L0B0 is an astounding camera that was created for use in applications for which real-time, high-resolution, and high sensitivity are required. The CCD in the camera is cooled to approximately -20 degrees Celsius. Additionally, this camera features RS-232 controllability. Functions such as charge multiplication gain, exposure, 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 column/row binning, and image averaging can all be modified through a standard serial port interface common to almost all PCs and laptops. |
 Sample Images

|
|
|
Shown are some images taken of fluorescing cells. With ＩＭＰＡＣＴＲＯＮTM, even the very faint glow of fluorescence is detectable at video frame rates. Fluorescence Microscopy is just one of the many applications that stand to advance more rapidly due to the introduction of this revolutionary technology. |
IMPACTRONTM Features |
▼On-chip Charge Multiplication
The charge is multiplied, stage by stage, in a special 400-stage charge multiplication register. |
▼Lowest Power EMCCDs (20 Volt Max)
Unlike traditional image intensifier technology, a 20-volt clock signal applied to the CMG register can result in a gain of about 2000 x. |
▼Low Noise due to charge multiplication before output amplifier
A charge conversion amplifier has its own inherent noise. Since ＩＭＰＡＣＴＲＯＮTM achieves the desired gain through charge multiplication before entering the conversion amplifier, the noise of the amplifier becomes negligible overall as CMG gain increases. |
▼Peltier Cooling for even better noise performance
By cooling the CCD, dark current is significantly reduced. |
▼No burn-in or residual imaging |
Impact Ionization Theory
The potential difference at P4 determines the extent of Impact Ionization (Charge Multiplication)
（In charge multiplication, electrons passing through a high energy field collide, generating additional electrons） |
