FLI - MicroLine Series - Sony ICX814 Interline Monochrome CCD Camera
Goodbye Goliath! MicroLine is smaller and lighter-weight than the
competition, but outperforms them in key areas such as noise, frame
quality, download speeds, bit-depth, and CCD cooling.
FLI MicroLine CCD cameras feature fast download speeds that simply
leave the competition behind. Each component of the FLI MicroLine camera
is designed and manufactured for a long life in the most demanding
conditions. All major components are CNC machined and you're looking at
only the highest quality electrical components and circuit boards with
logo, serial number and focal plane indicators laser-etched on the
surface - not printed. FLI designed photo-etched stainless-steel
shutters are field-serviceable should they ever encounter damage and the
sensor is hermetically sealed from dust and moisture.

- Video mode with interline sensors - focus and center images live!
- Small Footprint (3.7 x 3.7 x 5in.)
- Reaches operating temperatures in 5 minutes!
What sets FLI MicroLine CCD Cameras apart
is their small form factor. At 3.7 x 3.7 x 5 inches (HWL), the FLI
MicroLine is a small camera with big camera capabilities! The Microline
improves upon the highly successful FLI MaxCam design in a number of key
areas including cooling, download speeds, clear aperture, and sensor
capability.
Now, let's talk about FLI MicroLine CCD Camera Cooling...
The FLI MicroLine's robust cooling design achieves a sustainable
cooling performance of 50-55 deg C below ambient. The camera's CCD can
be operated at -30 deg C with typical room temperatures and without the
need for water cooling or special cooling sequences. Simply set the
MicroLine cooling where you want it and the camera will do the rest -
quickly and worry-free.
Conventional imaging cameras move the image data directly from
the image sensor to the USB port, making them susceptible to added
artifacts due to PC processing tasks, processor speed, and other
PC-related issues. The MicroLine avoids these issues
with its internal frame buffer, thus allowing an image to be quickly
read out and downloaded to the PC. This allows the PC to take the image
at whatever speed it is capable of without introducing any artifacts to
the image.
When it comes the FLI MicroLine, you get
system compatibility and mounting options as well as mechanical shutter,
liquid cooling, and Anti-Dew Technology options that will help you
trick out your camera the way you want it. The MicroLine line of CCD
cameras is compatible with all FLI imaging accessories, including the
Precision line of Color Filter Wheels and Digital Focusers.
MicroLine camera adapters are available for microscope, telescope and
machine vision connectivity. Scroll down for a list of available
time-of-purchase options for this camera model and sensor combination.
