Cordin's Gated Intensified Cameras use micro-channel plate (MCP) intensifiers to both amplify and shutter the image.

Multi-channel models of these cameras have an optical system that divides the image across mutiple channels. Individual channels are activated in sequence to give a series of images separated by very short times - down to five nanoseconds.

While the use of intensifiers precludes color imaging, and engenders some loss in image quality, the speed is faster, sensitivity higher and exposure time shorter than otherwise possible.

These cameras have minimum interframe times and exposure times of 5 nanoseconds, which equates to 200 million frames per second.

Model 222-4G Camera The Model 222-4G is the top-of-the line gated intensified camera. It has 4 megapixel resolution, improvements in bit depth and sensitivity, and has exposure and interframe times down to 5 nanoseconds.

Options

Spectral Sensitivity - All Model 200 series cameras can be specified to be sensitive to either the IR or UV end of the spectrum. This depends on the photocathode material of the MCP intensifier. S20 is standard which gives a sensitivity range from 250 to 850 nanometers. S25 is optional and gives sensitivity from 400 to 900 nanometers.

Double pulse - In this configuration, each CCD channel is capable of capturing two frames each, thereby doubling the total number of frames the camera will capture.

Custom Optics - Cordin frequently works with customers to define and provide custom optics for use with the cameras. This includes microscope optics, spectrographs, shadowgraph systems and others..
