OCAM² EMCCD Cameras

OCAM²K and OCAM²S are high speed low noise EMCCD cameras able to run at 2067 fps (3700 fps in binning) with subelectron readout noise, operating from 400 nm to 900 nm with a 95% peak QE typical.

OCAM²K and OCAM²S also offer low latency: 43 μs between exposure and first pixel availability. OCAM²K and OCAM²S were created by astronomers for astronomers, especially for adaptive optics and wavefront sensing.

C-RED SWIR Cameras

SWIR cameras are often used in various applications such as industrial inspection, surveillance, and scientific research due to their ability to see through opaque materials like silicon, smoke, fog or glass to detect thermal emissions.

First Light Imaging have an extensive range of SWIR cameras that boast high speed (up to 3500 FPS), low noise, wide wavelength from 0,8 to 1,7 and up to 2,5 µm, 15 μm pixel pitch, over 70% QE and much more between their 6 options.

C-BLUE CMOS Cameras

First Light Imaging's range of CMOS cameras cover a variety of key features including monochrome global shutter, 10 GigE, CoaXPress, thermal management, multi-windowing and much more. These cameras have been designed to integrate one of three different new generation of Sony CMOS Pregius™ sensors.

Thanks to this flexible design, the C-BLUE series of UV-visible cameras is able to cover the largest scope of applications over a wide wavelength, from 200 nm to 1000 nm. The camera can be tailored to be the best pixel size, resolution, and frame rate compromise for your use case.
