Abstract

A high resolution fast readout camera system has been developed around a specialized full frame 512 * 512 pixel format CCD sensor in conjunction with EEV Ltd. An equivalent readout rate of 600 frames per second with a spatial resolution of 24 line pairs per mm at the Nyquist limit is achieved. A binning capability increases the readout rate by up to a factor of four. The system dynamic range is in excess of 1000:1. System features include image analysis for computer with dedicated software, non volatile memory, high resolution and real time displays, instantly reset able, single shot image capture capability and remote head operation.
