Photonis iNocturn intensified camera

The iNocturn from Photonis is an intensified camera combining an image intensifier tube with a sensitive, low-light camera. It features a combination of high sensitivity, low SWaP, high frame rate, high-QE photodetectors and nanosecond gating. The intensified camera can detect different wavelength ranges from deep UV to NIR and is suitable for applications in fluorescence imaging, electrical discharge detection, microscopy and spectroscopy. The camera’s high-resolution sensor is also equipped with a high frame rate for high-speed moving objects in applications such as industrial monitoring.

Small, compact and lightweight, the iNocturn intensified camera offers 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution, frame rates up to 100 fps at full resolution, spectral range from 200–1100 nm, depending on choice of photocathode. With either gated or non-gated options the minimum detection capability is up to a single photon. Connection is via PAL/NTSC, CameraLink, HD-SDI, USB 3.0, LVCMOS, C-mount. The operating temperature range is -10 to +55°C.

Due to Smart Tube Management, the iNocturn range of cameras produces high-quality images and videos supporting the ability to perform single photon detection, with a low read noise reached without the need for any additional cooling.

With different ranges of wavelength spanning from deep UV to near infrared, the user can focus on a specific wavelength range for a particular application. For example, spark and electrical discharge detection application is very suitable with the iNocturn SUV, while the iNocturn Blue or Green can be used for other applications that include wafer inspection, spectroscopy and microscopy.
