HIGH-SPEED ICCD CAMERA
The Princeton Instruments I-PentaMAX:HB intensified imaging
system for ultra-low-light applications is the latest addition
to the I-PentaMAX line of ICCD cameras. The thermo-electrically
cooled HB model's "High Blue" Gen III intensifier
extends spectral coverage below 400 mm. System gain is high
enough to allow the detection of single-photon events, while
frame-transfer readout with 100% duty cycle lets the 12-bit
camera acquire images continuously at video rates and beyond
in order to capture dynamic events. ROPER SCIENTIFIC, INC.

INTEGRATED CAMERA/SOFTWARE KITS
The new Evolution MP and Evolution QE camera kits, combined
with the recently released Evolution LC kits, offer a variety
of integrated camera and software options. All Evolution kits
come fully integrated with Image-Pro imaging software, facilitating
capture and analysis workflow. In addition, the kits include
a FireWire (IEEE 1394) Digital Interface. Evolution MP offers
a 5.1 Megapixel color CCD Sensor, while the monochrome Evolution
QE features an optional RGB filter and reportedly produces
high-res, low-noise, 12-bit images. MEDIA CYBERNETICS. Silver
