Camera excels in low light

The new IK-1000ME extreme low light colour camera gives full colour, virtually noiseless images at TV scan rates in almost complete darkness, the supplier, Firstsight Vision, claims.

Featuring a Toshiba electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) detector, the camera can operate in light levels between 10-4 lux (equivalent to moonless overcast conditions) and 102 lux (direct sunlight).

The detector is 1,000 times more sensitive than a conventional colour CCD, says Firstsight Vision. Additional features include spatial resolution of 658 x 496 pixels and an electronic shutter, adjustable to 1/2000 seconds.
