Cordin's
Rotating Mirror CCD cameras
are the descendent of the rotating
mirror film cameras installed in many labs worldwide for
which Cordin is well known.
These
systems use a complex optical system centered on a multi-faceted
mirror that spins at very high speeds. This action distributes
the image to individual CCD channels which record the frames.
The total number of frames the camera captures depends on
the number of channels.
This
approach yields the best image
quality available in ultra-high speed applications.
These
cameras have maximum rates from 200,000 to 25 million frames
per second.

Model
530 Camera
The
Model 530 camera is the most economical in this product
range. It has sixteen frames and is capable of 200,000
frames per second.
|
 |
Model
535 Camera
The
Model 535 camera is the same as the Model 530 camera
except it is configured with a gas driven turbine. It
is capable of 1 million frames per second.

Model
550 and 570 Cameras
These
are the flagship models of the Cordin Rotating Mirror
product line. They are available in various configurations
depending on number of frames and resolution desired.
See chart below for details.

 |
Model
510 Camera
This
camera is a lower resolution camera made for the fastest
speeds. It is capable of 25 million frames per second.
It
is equivalent to the Brandaris
128 camera, which Cordin developed in partnership
with Erasmus University.

Options
CCDs
- Monochrome or Color. Monochrome is approximately 2.5 times
more sensitive than color. Color configuration is single chip
Bayer screen color.
Rotating
Mirror Drive - The 550 and 570 cameras are available with
either electric drive or gas turbine drive. Electric drive
is simpler and less costly to operate. Gas turbine drive allows
for faster framing rates. The fastest framing rates with the
gas turbine drive require helium fill for the camera and helium
drive.
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. This configuration requires
a Cordin light source.
