BUC6B-140BM TE-Cooling C-mount USB3.0 CCD Microscope Camera (Sony ICX825ALA Sensor, 1.4MP)
Introduction
BUC6B series cameras adopt Sony Exview HAD CCD II sensor as the image capture device, with two-stage peltier cooling system to reduce the working temperature of the imaging sensor to -50°C degree below ambient.
The cooling temperature can be controlled by software to ensure that the photoelectric conversion quantum efficiency is as high as possible. This will greatly increase the signal to noise ratio and decrease the image or video noise. (In the case of particularly low temperatures, the quantum efficiency of Sony's high-performance image sensors will be greatly reduced, so the temperature control is very important).
Anti - fogging structure, which is filled with nitrogen and sealed, is designed to avoid the moisture problem. This design ensures that the sensor surface does not fog at low temperature. Electric fan is used to increase the heat radiation speed.
USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface to increase the frame rate.
BUC6B series cameras come with advanced video & image processing application ImageView; Providing Windows/Linux/OSX multiple platform SDK; Native C/C++, C#/VB.NET, DirectShow, Twain Control API.

Dimension of BUC6B
The BUC6B body, made from tough, alloy with CNC technique, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with a high quality IR-CUT to protect the camera sensor and block the IR light. The fan‘s vibration is minimized to the low level to eliminate the vibration caused imaging blur. These measures ensure a rugged, robust solution with an increased lifespan when compared to other industrial camera solutions.
