As part of the
integration of former VDS Vosskühler camera models
into its product palette, Allied Vision Technologies
presents the new Bigeye family. These first-class
digital cameras distinguish themselves with very
low-noise images thanks to active cooling, and are
especially suited for demanding scientific
applications requiring long exposure times.
Active cooling for outstanding image quality
CCD sensor warming during camera operation leads to
increased background noise, which in turn has a
deleterious effect on image quality. This phenomenon
is especially critical for applications requiring
extremely high image quality. Long exposure times,
such as those common in astronomy, produce more
noise in the image than do short exposure times.
With the Bigeye camera series, Allied Vision
Technologies presents an entire palette of first-class,
actively cooled CCD cameras. The Peltier-cooled Bigeye
models are cooled down to a temperature of -20°C (-4 °F)
on the CCD sensor. The result is minimal black-level
noise and an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio, even
with very long exposure times.

Super-sensitive sensors
up to 11 megapixels
These new camera models are equipped with high-quality
Sony and Kodak CCD sensors, offering resolution from 1.4
to 11 megapixels. All models are available in color or
monochrome. With their Gigabit Ethernet interface, they
deliver up to 12.5 images per second at full resolution
(Bigeye P-132). Thanks to Peltier cooling, extremely
long exposure times of up to 30 minutes can be used (Bigeye
P-629)..
With the Bigeye family, Allied Vision Technologies has
expanded its offering of extremely high-value cameras
for demanding scientific imaging applications. Bigeye
cameras are now available.
