Description
High QE image intensifier
The iNocturn features an exceptional sensitivity based on high QE image intensifier,
ultra-fast gating technology down to a few nanoseconds, which allows it to be coupled
with a laser source to perform high fidelity active imaging.
Specific range of wavelength
The High QE image intensifier comes with different range of wavelength spanning from deep
UV to Near Infrared enabling the user to focus on a specific range of wavelength for a
particular application. For example, spark and electrical discharge detection application
is very suitable with the iNocturn SUV, while the iNocturn Blue or Green can be used for
other applications that include wafer inspection, spectroscopy and microscopy.
Advanced camera specification
Thanks to the Smart Tube Management, the iNocturn range of camera produces high quality
images and videos supporting the ability to perform single photon detection, with a
ultra-low read noise reached without the need for any additional cooling.
The camera has a high-resolution sensor equipped with a high frame rate for excellent image
production, which is well‐suited for high speed moving objects in industrial monitoring
application for example. The iNocturn is small, compact and light-weighted especially
designed for easy integration into any systems.
This coupling of technologies provides all the benefits of high-performance image quality gained
by the image intensifier tube and all the benefits of a digital low light camera such as
recording, saving, and sharing videos. The ICMOS unit integrates a high voltage power
supply for the intensifier tube and the readout electronics for the CMOS sensor. Video
data is provided through a FFC/FPC connector and power is applied separately for the
CMOS and the image intensifier.
