Retiga-4000DC Datasheet - QImaging

PRODUCT DATASHEETRetiga-4000DCDeep-Cooled, High-Dynamic-Range Digital CCD CameraThe QImaging ® Retiga-4000DC CCDdigital camera has been specially engineeredfor low-light, high-dynamic-range applications.An 80,000e- full well capacity, combined witha three-stage Peltier device using an all-metal,hermetic-vacuum-sealed CCD chamber,provides extreme dynamic range forapplications such as chemiluminescence, livecellimaging, and fluorescence. The camera’ssoftware-selectable regulated cooling enablesprecise control in single-degree incrementsdown to -45˚C. The Retiga-4000DC featuresa 4-megapixel CCD, 12-bit digital output,and an IEEE 1394 interface for enhancedconnectivity and noise-shielding performance.Additionally, the camera comes with Hot PixelReduction (HPR) technology, an innovativecombination of a deep-cooled vacuum designand FPGA-based pixel clock timing that offersunbeatable performance in terms of darkcurrent and generation of hot pixels.applications< Immunofluorescence< Fluorescent protein imaging< Semiconductor inspection< Chemiluminescent gel imaging< Particle tracking< LCD inspection< Fluorescent macro-imaging< Fluorescent stereomicroscopyfeaturesHPR TechnologyBlack-Out ModeHigh-Resolution,4-Million-Pixel SensorLow-Noise ElectronicsOptional/Removable IR-Cutoff FilterFlexible Exposure Controlfrom 10μs to 17.9minExternal Sync & TriggerThree-Stage PeltierCooling w/ Vacuum SealBinningIEEE 1394 FireWireConnectionExtensive ApplicationSoftware Supportbenefits< Ultimate reduction of hot pixels< Turns all lights off for low-light imaging applications< Highly detailed, sharp images< Quantitation & imaging of low light levels< High-contrast, visible-range images with IR filter in place< Removable for IR applications< Optimal integration over a wide range of light levels< Tight synchronization with flashlamps, automated filters,shutters, & microscope stages< Reduced thermal noise for low-light, long exposures< Increases sensitivity for quantitation & imaging of very low light levels< Increases frame rate< Simple connectivity< Better noise performance< Excellent connectivity ability< Ease of use & installation< Portability with laptop computer< Simultaneous use of multiple cameras through a single port< Choose from a large selection of life science & industrial software formicroscopy, machine vision, & video-streaming functions
