The combination of this EM and TDI (Time Delay Integration) technology enables seamless high speed scanning for ultra low light objects. Significant performance of high gain, excellent signal to noise ratio, high resolution and high speed are combined with a proprietary hermetic vacuum chamber evacuated to approx.1.3×10-6 Pa (10-8 Torr). Furthermore, the camera controls cooling temperature stably at -50 ˚C even when the ambient temperature is fluctuated from 0 ˚C to +40 ˚C. This stable cooling temperature contributes to the uniform electron multiplying factor. 2000 times gain factor is possible while operating at 30.9 kHz line rate and 14 bit digitization. Integration of the high vacuum, stable deep cooling and optimally designed electronics enables to minimize the camera noise. The readout noise of this camera is less than one electron at maximum EM gain. In addition to that integration of on-chip EM gain feature and stable deep cooling performance contribute to increase signal level significantly against camera noise. The C9100-03 is recommended for any application requiring, high speed, high sensitivity and high resolution imaging under ultra low light condition. ★ This is typical, not guaranteed. Perfectly seamless image acquisition with high sensitivity and high-speed TDI (Time Delay Integration) is a particular readout method of the CCD. When charges are readout from the CCD, the CCD vertically transfers the charges line by line. If the charge transferring speed and the object moving speed are matched perfectly, it enables exposure time for the moving object to be as long as the charge transferring time of the vertical stages in the CCD. This method is called TDI, the technology enables to capture image of moving object with high speed and high sensitivity.
