CID8710D1M Radiation Hardened Solid-State Camera (RS-170)

Thermo Scientific™ CID8710D1M solid-state, monochrome, CID-based video camera features minimum radiation tolerance of at least 1 x 10⁶ rads total dose gamma (1 MegaRAD) total dose. Camera features a 2:1 interlace-scanned Charge Injection Device (CID) based imager with 12 x 13.7 micron pixels in 776(H) x 512(V) RS-170 version format.

Also features superior anti-blooming performance inherent to all CIDs, and command stop motion to capture and read asynchronous high-speed events in center frame. A versatile camera head-mounting feature simplifies installation in small spaces, and the standard “C” mount lens adapter provides back-focus adjustments.

• Camera is tolerant to gamma, neutron, high energy electrons, and proton radiation
• Since pixel charge readout is within the CID pixel, there is limited potential of single event disruptions common with other imaging technologies
• CID structure is inherently radiation resistant, and with specific modifications to the CID process, has been radiation hardened
• CID cameras allow at least an order of magnitude improvement in operation in radiation environments compared to CCD and CMOS-based cameras
• Imager is also inherently anti-blooming and tolerant to highly specular lighting overloads
• Optical overloads are highly contained within each pixel or the immediately surrounding pixels so charge is not shared with adjacent rows or columns
• Spectral response is from 400nm to 1100nm and coatings are available for X-ray, deep UV and IR
• CID imagers have a contiguous uniform pixel structure where the total sensor is active with virtually no opaque areas which facilitate interpixel interpolation for subpixel edge definition
• Charge Injection Device (CID) Rad Hard Technology
• 1 x 10⁶ Rad Total Dose (gamma)
• Excellent Image at 7 x 10⁵ rads/hr
• High-resolution / small size
• Replaceable remote head
• No geometric distortion
• 4:3 aspect pixels
• Precise edge detection
• Selectable 2x, and 0.5 video gain boost
