Are you looking for camera systems that will give you an effective imaging experience? Ingaas cameras are the best option. This article has compiled all you need to know about these cameras- read on!
These are camera systems that use indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) technology in imaging. They have bridged the gap between near-infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths in the range of 950 nm-1700 nm. This is where silicon detectors cease to be sensitive. These cameras capture images with QVGA to VGA resolution, while their sensors give a chance to offer the cameras appealing image quality and contrast.
These cameras include;
- Ingaas camera: C12741-03
It is an infrared-sensitive camera with a detection range between 950 nm and 1700 nm. The camera supports USB 3.0 and standard video output (EIA). It also has a readout speed of 60 frames/s and 640 (H)×512 (V) pixels.
- Ingaas camera: C14041-10U
This is an infrared-sensitive camera and has a detection range within the bracket of 950 nm and 1700 nm. Thus camera supports standard video output and USB 3.0. The effective number of pixels on this camera is 320 (H)× 256 (V), while the readout seed is 216 frames/s.
- Ingaas line scan camera: C15333-10E
It is infrared-sensitive. The detection range is between 950 nm and 1700 nm and supports in-line non-destructive inspection in real-time. It also supports GigE Vision and uses Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This camera has a readout speed of 40 kHz and 1024 (H)× 1 (V) pixels.
- C12741-11
The camera is infrared-sensitive with a 950 nm to 1500 nm detection range. It Has a low dark current with a Peltier cooling of -70 degrees Celsius. Its readout speed is 7.2 frames/s, while the number of pixels is 640 (H)× 512 (V). The readout noise is 500 electrons, and the catalogue is 703 KB/PDF.
Applications of this camera
- Aids in detecting food contaminants. Smaller particles that cannot be easily detected are seen through SWIR images.
- Used in spotting damages that cannot be seen with naked eyes.
- Used to inspect liquid levels in sealed containers.
Although the light in SWIR and NIR regions cannot be seen with a naked eye, its features are slightly the same as those in the visible section of the spectrum. As a result, the NIR/SWIR light reflects and offers fine contrast and resolution in images attained with sensitive detectors.
