Electronic
imaging gives immediate results in digital image format. Cordin’s
electronic imaging cameras use multiple camera modules and
complex internal optics to achieve significantly higher framing
rates than conventional high speed CCD or CMOS cameras that
are based on a single chip read out at a fast rate.
These
cameras have maximum rates from 250,000 to over 200 million
frames per second.
There
are two basic types; the beam splitter-based 200 series, and
the rotating mirror based 500 series.

 500
SERIES CAMERAS
The
500 series cameras are a hybrid rotating mirror CCD
systems. They distribute light from a single objective
lens through a rotating mirror to multiple camera modules.
This
approach yields more frames with higher quality pictures
than any other method in this speed range.
|
These
cameras will capture up to 800,000 frames per second at full
resolution using an electric mirror drive. They are also available
with a helium driven turbine mirror drive for full resolution
framing rates up to 25 million.
Camera
modules can be monochrome or color.

SERIES CAMERAS
The
200 series are based on beamsplitter internal optics
that distribute the image from a single objective lens
to multiple camera modules. These modules generally
include an intensifier for light gain, and precise control
of the timing and duration of exposure. These systems
will capture images down to ten nanosecond intervals,
equivalent to 100 million frames per second.
