Introduction
The Diamond D-12A09 GigE Vision camera delivers 4096 x 3008 pixel resolution at 9 fps with 3.45 micron square pixels. Adimec offers the Diamond 12 Mpx camera with optimized thermal management, low power and a compact design. With the focus on temperature stability of the high sensitivity image sensor, the Diamond series is designed for low light applications where long exposure times are required without active cooling.
Optical alignment is simplified via active alignment in 6 degrees of freedom between the sensor and the mechanical camera front. This creates a very accurate sensor alignment with high reproducibility. With an optional infrared cut-off filter at a sufficient distance from the image sensor, no particles will enter the sensor-to-glass optical path that could disturb the image uniformity.
Consistent tool matching is supported via repeatable optical alignment and performance monitoring for sensitivity, noise characteristics, dark current and uniformity at fixed temperature conditions. Additional special features of the 12 Mpx Diamond such as multi-exposure triggering, frame averaging and binning, further improve performance in low light uniformity measurement applications.
