The Condor™ 486EF is an ultrasensitive, fiberoptic coupled camera for imaging phosphors and other x ray and electron scintillators. Applications that demand a large field of view and high optical throughput particularly benefit from the size and sensitivity of the Condor.

The camera is based upon the CCD 486, a state-of-the-art, scientific grade, 4k x 4k sensor. At more than 36 cm2 , the 486 is the largest commercially available CCD, and when coupled to a 1:1 imaging fiberoptic, it delivers unsurpassed optical throughput. The camera boasts a lownoise, dual speed, four port readout architecture for superior speed and sensitivity. Dark current is minimized with regulated thermoelectric cooling to –25 °C.

Linear, 16bit dynamic range and sophisticated features such as software control over binning and gain make the Condor the ultimate instrument for low light detection of electron and x-ray images. The Condor 486 EF model is designed with the fiber optic protruding from the vacuum chamber such that the user can utilize a wide range of phosphors or other fiber optic scintillators. In addition, this model is ideally suited for mating with the fiber optic output of other apparatus such as streak tubes or image intensifiers
