Incorporating Teledyne DALSA’s latest line scan technology, the Spyder3 GigE surpasses its predecessor, the Spyder2, with three times more responsivity while maintaining the same dynamic range.

Fully programmable, the monochrome Spyder3 offers precise control over key performance variables such as gain and offset.

In addition to its high performance and affordability, Spyder3 GigE also incorporates advanced features such as flat field correction and CDS (Correlated Double Sampling). A GUI is provided allowing users to begin imaging in minutes.

For those OEMs migrating from the Spyder or Spyder2, the Spyder3 GigE does not require a new optics design because pixel size and fill factor remain unchanged at 14 µm and 100% respectively. Also, with a GigE interface, a frame grabber is no longer needed resulting in significant system cost savings.
