ORIUS SC200

ORIUS™ SC200 TEM CCD CAMERA

is the fastest digital CCD camera that performs like a TV (30fps). It allows users to capture gain corrected, in-situ events live.

 

Product Description

The Model 830 SC200 CCD camera is a new member to the ORIUS™ family of high performance CCD cameras. It is a 2k x 2k CCD (4M pixels) camera designed to deliver extraordinary resolution and TV readout speed for imaging applications in both life and materials science. The combination of HCR™ (high-contrast resolution) optical technology, and advanced CCD readout electronics has given the SC200 camera the best price-performance value.

This bottom mount camera can also provide a high resolution view of the sample making it ideal for use in materials science imaging applications and life science applications such as small particles, cryo-TEM and viruses.

The SC200 can output high quality (gain normalized) LIVE images that are corrected for cosmetic defects or shading. The exceptional anti-blooming performance also makes the SC200 an ideal camera for recording electron diffraction patterns.
