CCD camera delivers images at 10,000 frames/s The back-illuminated AdaptIII low-noise CCD camera generates imaging at rates to 10,000 frames/s. Noise performance is 3 electrons rms at 250 frames/s and 12 electrons at 1250 frames/s. These sensitivities are achieved via 40 output amplifiers whose 14-bit signals are digitized, multiplexed, and transmitted over a serial fiberoptic link to the company`s LynxPCI interface board. Camera electronics are housed in a rugged, hermetically sealed package with liquid cooling. A software-development kit allows designers to derive 32-bit Windows 95/NT applications.
