Allied Vision Technologies introduced its new version of Stingray camera without a sensor glass covering for extended purposes such as endoscopy, profiling of laser beam and coupling of fibre optics to the sensor.
The Stingray transformer camera with its high standard furnishes broad choice for sensors, interfaces, case varieties, cable outputs and lens-mounts which are assembled by principles of building blocks.
In UV imaging process, the sensor’s glass cover captures UV rays retarding UV reactivity limiting a wide variety of applications such as DNA analysis, monitoring of oil spills and corona discharge during intense electrical voltage transmissions, semiconductor inspection, astronomy, fluorescence in biology, imaging invisible flames etc. A phosphor layer which is UV-sensitive coated directly on the periphery of the sensor makes it more susceptible to the UV region of the spectrum. This if done by uncovering the glass in a traditional camera, impairs the sensor which implicates the significance of cameras without cover glass.
Efficiency of sensors in the infrared region can be intensified by coating it with particular Infrared sensitive phosphor. The sensor should be packed in an adhesive foil so as to insulate it from dust and moisture and can be withdrawn during application, in a clean zone devoid of dust and other particles.
