New from Teledyne DALSA: a cost-wise, high-performance line scan camera for light-starved situations
with the advantages of TDI technology

Previously, it has not been possible to undertake certain applications, such as imaging through a silicon wafer using visible light. However, this has now been made possible by using an infra-red light source.

How does it work?
While there are many applications for this type of camera, in the case of silicon wafer inspection, for example, an infra-red light source is placed in front of the wafer. The resultant NIR light passes through the wafer and that light irradition is imaged by the camera which is positioned behind the wafer. Visible light is blocked by the wafer but NIR light passes through and can expose any cracks that may be present in the wafer.

Conscious of the need to provide a cost-effective solution for near-infrared imaging in the 700 to 1050 nanometers wavelength, Teledyne DALSA offer the Piranha HS NIR-8K TDI, the first model in their new high-sensitivity NIR product family. Using their unique CCD TDI technology to achieve high responsivity and signal-to-noise ratio without read-noise penalty, this camera meets the performance-challenge in demanding, light-starved situations. Ideal for NIR imaging, the camera is designed to meet the requirements of low-light applications such as solar cell inspection, PCB / electronics inspection, large web applications, and food and drug inspection.and delivers line rates up to 34 kHz and a throughput up to 320 MHz. Camera configuration is extremely flexible and the number of Camera Link taps, throughput and line rate are all software-controlled. These cameras are capable of bidirectionality with up to 256 stages of selectability while preventing over-exposure with DALSA's proven 100x antiblooming.
