Kepler KL6060 sCMOS Camera Large Format Low Noise High Frame Rate Maximize Your Field of View with our New Large Format Kepler KL6060 sCMOS Camera 86.8 mm DIAG HDR Extremely High Frame High High Dynamic Back-Illuminated (BI) High Performance Large Area Rate Sensitivity Range & Front-Illuminated (FI) & Reliability The New Low-Noise Cooled High Frame Rates The back-illuminated camera reads out at 14.288 microseconds per sCMOS Camera from Finger row (11 fps for full array). The front-illuminated camera reads at 8.533 microseconds per row (19 fps for full array). Faster imaging speed can Lakes Instrumentation (FLI) be achieved by selecting a smaller region of interest. For example, by selecting a sub-array of 1,000 rows, frame rate increases by 6x. Provides High Speed Imaging High Dynamic Range (HDR) with an Exceptional Field of View The KL6060 is able to capture bright and dim objects in a single image. It achieves a remarkable 90 dB dynamic range by reading a single exposure twice – once in high gain and once in low gain. Available with a front-illuminated sensor or high-QE FLI’s proprietary algorithms guarantee the merged 16-bit HDR back-illuminated sensor, the Kepler KL6060 camera image is exceptionally linear, enabling high-precision quantitative is capable of taking up to 19 frames per second, using analysis. FLI's Pilot software allows you to preserve the original 12-bit images for future scrutiny, ensuring that your original data the optional QSFP fiber interface. This affordable camera remains unchanged. is a game-changing solution for Space Debris Detection Optional QSFP Fiber Interface and Space Situational Awareness applications and is When combined with the optional QSFP Fiber Interface, the KL6060 ideal for universities or dedicated amateurs who want allows for long distance operation and isolation from electrical to capture every possible photon. interferences. It also provides the highest data rates possible on the Kepler platform. Our PCIE interface supports customizable on-the-fly correction for Dark Signal Non-Uniformity and Photo Response Non- SPECIFICATIONS Uniformity at full data rates, including the ability for you to add the algorithms of your choice. Please contact FLI for details.
