MCT camera
The ZephIR 2.9 is a fully integrated HgCdTe camera with a 320 x 256 pixels focal plane array (FPA) sensitive from 850 to 2900 nm. The camera provides low noise detection and easy operation. This is in large part due to a four stages thermoelectric cooler (TEC) which can maintain operating temperature as low as -80 °C. The TEC’s forced air heat dissipation requires none of the maintenance of a water or liquid nitrogen chilled unit and does not suffer from the limited lifetime of Stirling mechanical coolers.
The camera’s hardware coded region-of-interest (ROI) enables the user to choose between a full-frame rate of 340 frames per second (fps) and a windowed rate of up to 3000 fps. Users can choose to use Photon etc’s PHySpec camera control software or develop their own using an extensive software development kit (SDK).
