Continuing its push to extend the boundaries
of industrial imaging, Photon etc. presents
the first affordable, deep-cooled SWIR
camera operational from 800 nm to 2.5 µm.
Based on a sensitive HgCdTe (MCT) FPA, and
integrating a four-stage TE cooler, ZEPHIR™
delivers an astounding 346 frame-per-second
rate while reaching unrivalled low noise
levels. First designed for demanding faint-flux
applications such as hyperspectral imaging,
this latest offering in the SWIR domain is
perfectly adapted to industrial applications in
quality control and sorting.
