CCD Camera is based on 1.3 megapixel sensor.
Press Release Summary:
Clara E camera utilizes vacuum process to deliver air cooling to -20°C, while read noise is down to 3 e- at 1 MHz. Dynamic events can be followed via low-noise 10 or 20 MHz readout modes and data is channeled through USB 2.0 interface. Compact system, based on ICX285 sensor, features I/O capability for DAQ through live cell microscopy software. It also includes hardware generated timestamp for temporal precision as well as SDK.
Original Press Release:
Performance-Leading Interline CCD Camera Platform Extension
Belfast, Northern Ireland - Andor Technology plc (Andor), a world leader in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, today announced the launch of the 'Clara E' camera, extending the available choice from the most sensitive interline CCD camera range on the market.
The Clara family of cameras is based around the popular 1.3 Megapixel 'ICX285' sensor from Sony® and is engineered to drive the highest sensitivity and dynamic range performance available from a high-resolution scientific interline CCD camera.
'Clara E' avails of Andor's proven vacuum process, delivering air cooling performance to -20°C, complementing a low read noise of 3 e- at 1MHz. Dynamic events can be followed with outstanding quantitative stability via low noise 10 or 20 MHz readout modes, the data channeled through a USB 2.0 interface. Andor's iCam technology and comprehensive I/O functionality enables market-leading acquisition efficiency through live cell microscopy softwares, and an accurate hardware generated timestamp ensures temporal precision. The compact, robust design and accessible SDK make Clara ideally suited to OEM integration.
Dr Colin Coates, Product Manager within Andor Technology, said: "Since the launch of the Clara interline camera in early 2009, we have been extremely encouraged by the level of recognition it has attained on account of its industry-leading sensitivity, offering deep air cooling to -55°C which complements a unique read noise of 2.4 e-. Clara E represents a significant price/performance addition to the family, and both microscopists and OEM customers will appreciate the unquestionable value that this powerful camera presents".
