STC6B Series
C-mount CCD Color Digital Camera

STC6B series cameras adopt Sony Exview HAD CCD II sensor as the image capture device with two-stage peltier cooling sensor chip to -40 degree below ambient temperature.

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 noise. Smart structure is designed to assure the heat radiation efficiency and avoid the moisture problem. Electric fan is used to increase the heat radiation speed.

USB3.0 is used as the data transfer interface to increase the frame rate.

STC6B 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.

The STC6B can be widely used in low light environment and microscope fluorescence image capture and analysis, as well as the astronomy deep sky application

Dimension of STC6B

The STC6B body, made from tough, alloy with CNC technique, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with a high quality IR-CUT or AR to block the IR light or protect the camera sensor. 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.

Application

The STC6B series USB3.0 cooled CCD digital cameras can be widely used in low light environment and microscope fluorescence image capture and analysis, as well as the astronomy applications as following:

  • Bright field microscope;
  • Dark field, differential interference (DIC) microscope;
  • live cell imaging, cell or histopathological examination, cytology;
  • Defect analysis, semiconductor inspection, precision measurement;
  • Weak light fluorescence imaging, GFP or RFP analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH);
  • Resonance fluorescence transfer microscope, total internal reflection fluorescence microscope, real - time confocal microscopy, failure analysis, astronomy photography.
