The Condor 486:90 is an ultra-sensitive, fiber-optic coupled camera for use in X-ray imaging and electron imaging applications that demand a large field of view and high throughput. This cooled CCD camera is based upon the CCD 486, a state-of-the-art, scientific grade, 4K x 4k sensor. At more than 60 x 60 mm2, the 486 is the largest commercially available CCD and when coupled to a 1:1 imaging fiber-optic, it delivers unsurpassed optical throughput. The camera boasts a low-noise, dual-speed, four-port readout architecture for superior speed and sensitivity. Dark current is virtually eliminated with deep. thermoelectric cooling to -60°C. Hard metal seals assure a reliable vacuum and continuous maintenance-free operation. Linear, 16-bit dynamic range and sophisticated features such as anti-blooming control and software control over binning and gain make the Condor the ultimate instrument for scientific X-ray imaging and electron imaging. The camera comes standard with a beryllium window for transmitting X-rays while blocking visible light. A range of X-ray or electron phosphors can be selected for your particular application. For larger fiber optic taper versions of this camera please see the Condor 486:135 and Condor 486:200.
