Camera mounted on a microscope stand

• COOLING: Pour-fill down-looking dewar design with LN₂ hold time greater than 8 hours, and vacuum hold better than 6 months.
• MECHANICAL: 4" diameter, 10" long. weight about 4 Lb. Down-looking dewar.
• OPTICS: accommodates C-mounted lenses.
• ELECTRONICS: Self bootable from a PROM that loads all digital logic into an FPGA. The FPGA generates all the clocks for both the FPA and the computer interface.
  Analog and digital boards
• POWER: analog and digital ±5,+5, ±15.
• OPERATING MODES: User selectable
  - non-destructive read (on the ramp)
  - alternating read-reset,
  - continuous reset,
  - continuous read
  - Disable "read" logic for very long integration time,
  - all the above in slow frame rate or in fast rate.
  
• DATA RATE: Fast mode about 15 frames per second (~2 MBytes/sec)
• ADC = 16 bits.
• INTERFACE: Computer Interface: Use a Bitflow PCI frame grabber that reads 16 bits and capable of host DMA at up to 90 MBytes/Sec.
• DATA ANALYSIS:
  Image analysis: Customized ImagePro image processing package, running on Windows 95 and NT.
• Other custom enhancements (contact OKSI for options):
  
  • Side-looking dewar.
  • Closed cycle cooling
  • Direct ooutput to SVGA
