Raptor Photonics, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance digital cameras, has launched an additional member of its family of visible SWIR cameras with the Ninox 1280, offering HD resolution for high-end scientific and astronomy applications.

Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor, cooled to -15°C, the camera offers visible extension from 0.4 to 1.7 µm to enable high-sensitivity imaging. The 10 x 10 µm pixel pitch enables high-resolution imaging. It offers less than 40 electrons readout noise combined with one of the lowest dark current readings on the market, according to the company. The camera offers an ultrahigh intrascene dynamic range of 69 dB, enabling simultaneous capture of bright and dark portions of a scene.

Available with a 12-bit CameraLink output, the camera will run up to 60 Hz. It features onboard automated gain control (AGC), which is said to enable the best contrast image from low light to bright, as well as an onboard intelligent 3-point non-uniform correction (NUC) algorithm providing high-quality images. The camera comes with a range of analysis software, including XCAP and Micromanager, and a standard CameraLink frame grabber (EPIX).
