ORIUS SC600
ORIUS™ SC600
TEM CCD CAMERAS
The SC600 has a high frame rate allowing users to capture
gain corrected, in-situ events live
Product Description
The Model 831 SC600 CCD camera is a new member to the ORIUS™
family of high performance CCD cameras. It is a 2.7k x 2.7k CCD (7M pixels)
camera designed to deliver extraordinary resolution and readout speed for
imaging applications in both life and materials science. The combination of
HCR™ (high-contrast resolution) optical technology, large format CCD
sensor, and advanced CCD readout electronics (single/dual-port) has given
the SC600 camera the best price-performance value.
This bottom mount camera provides 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 and viruses.
The SC600 can output high quality (gain normalized) LIVE images that are corrected
for cosmetic defects or shading. The exceptional anti-blooming performance
makes SC600 an ideal camera for recording electron diffraction patterns.
