Camera systems required for industrial production must often be tailored to the respective needs of the user. The camera pco.1300 oem is a high-performance system (resolution of 1392 x 1040 pixels, a 12-Bit dynamic range, cooled, extremely low noise of 8 e- RMS @ 10 Mhz and much more) that can be expanded for the OEM user without significant effort and offers the widest variety of options. Furthermore the camera shows a superior low offset drift, less than 1 count in 1 hour. This is advantageous if image sequences should be recorded over minutes and hours with subsequent processing. The camera is connected to a PC via a firewire (IEEE1394a) interface and is available with color image sensor.
