The I8710D1M-UV is a gated intensified CID based camera consisting of a Thermo Scientific model CID8710D1M Radiation Hardened solid state RS-170 version camera, fiberoptically coupled to the high performance GENII-UV Image intensifier tube from DEP.
Product Detail
The I8710D1M-UV solid-state video monochrome video camera features a 2:1 Interlace scanned 776(H) x 512(V) CID array with 12 x 13.7 micron pixels in a compact remote head connected to the camera control unit via flexible cable supplied to length. A versatile camera head-mounting feature simplifies installation in small spaces, and the standard "C" mount lens adapter provides back-focus adjustments. Additionaly, the I8710D1M-UV features superior Anti-Blooming performance inherent to all CIDs, command stop motion to capture and read asynchronous high-speed events in center frame, and frame integration for time lapse exposure
The CID structure is inherently radiation resistant, and with specific modifications to the CID process, has been made radiation hardened. The I8710D1M-UV camera is tolerant to gamma, neutron, high energy electrons, and proton radiation, and since pixel charge readout is within the CID pixel, there is limited potential of single event disruptions common with other imaging technologies.
The gate generator circuit may be operated using external TTL level gating pulses or the internally generated gate signals which may be manually controlled via control knobs or the "Autogate" control function. The image intensifier has wide spectral sensitivity and high MTF at low and intermediate spatial frequencies allowing superb resolution. Internal adjustments which allow for control of black level setup, edge enhancement, 1/2x and 4x video gain boost are standard.
The GENII-UV has an S-20 photocathode with a Suprasil (Quartz) input window to resist browning in radiation environments, and is equipped with photocathode gating permitting shutter intervals as short as 100ns allowing for automatic shutter control.
