Hamamatsu offers a high dynamic range time delay integration camera called the C10000-401. The TDI camera can be used in various imaging applications that require high sensitivity and high speed operation concurrently. TDI is a unique image acquisition technique that is widely employed in machine vision applications for industrial inspection. This technique is suitable for those applications where a linear process needs to be recorded over a period to time, or where the aspect ratio of the subject being imaged is uneven. TDI imaging is apt for low light level scanning applications where a standard line scan camera cannot make an effective image. Additionally, frame readout mode is provided for easy focusing.
