Penguin 150CLM &
600CLM - Monochrome Digital Camera Systems
with COOLED CCD
The Penguin 150CLM
& 600CLM represent a new and unique combination
of very high resolution and very high sensitivity
in monochrome for low light applications in
microscopy. This is achieved by combining
Pixera's high-resolution DiRactor®
technology, extremely efficient cooling and
sophisticated image processing technology.
The "fanless" 4-stage thermoelectric
Peltier cooling device reduces dark current noise
by being attached to the fixed CCD's back
plane. The heat is then transferred away from the
CCD's silicon to the external enclosure
surface. No parts are moving, inclusive of the CCD,
which is important in order to achieve the greatest
cooling and image quality results. The cooling
device is extremely fast with quiet operation and
achieves its target temperature within 2 minutes of
switching on the system.
Other features include a high quality 1/2" B/W
CCD, from Sony® with square pixels, long
integration exposure, high dynamic range, high
signal-to-noise ratio and a very easy to learn
interface with simple yet powerful controls.
Unlike many other digital camera systems which
increase resolution using software interpolation,
the Penguin 600CLM allows for a true optical
resolution of 15.8 million pixels using
Pixera's proprietary DiRactor, light-swing
opto-mechanical technology. When you need the
absolute highest image quality and resolution for
archiving, digital zoom in and publishing, the
Penguin 600CLM with up to 5.8 million pixel
resolution is your best choice.
