ZEPHIR High Speed, Deep Cooled SWIR Camera from Photon etc

The Photon etc ZEPHIR camera is based on a sensitive HgCdTe FPA integrated with a four stage thermoelectric cooler. It offers a 346 fps rate while reaching superior low-noise levels. It is perfectly suited to industrial applications in quality control and sorting.

Key Features

  • 346 frame-per-second
  • 4 stage TEC
  • Low noise level
  • HgCdTe (MCT) FPA
  • 0.8 to 2.6 µm

Applications

The applications of Zephir 2.5 SWIR camera are:

  • Safety and security: Effective and rapid detection of explosive liquid precursors is important for the identification of potential threats. S-EOS, Photon etc.’s SWIR hyperspectral camera is the right tool for rapid acquisition of spectrally resolved images. One can obtain from hundred thousands to millions of spectra in minutes. It is also possible to further decrease the collection time by limiting the acquisition to the spectral window of interest.

  • Environment and agriculture: There are several applications for hyperspectral imaging in the fields of environment and agriculture. In all cases, the identification of any type of molecule is done through the analysis of its characteristic spectrum. Whether it is for analyzing contaminants in soils, the sugar or water content of fruits or fat and protein levels in liquid, our instruments offer unique solutions.
