Allied Vision Technologies' Bigeye camera family is distinguished by its active Peltier cooling, enabling particularly low-noise images with long exposure times, which makes it especially well suited for low-light applications, such as microscopy or astronomy. The Bigeye is available with sensors from 1.3 to 11 megapixels and is equipped with a GigE Vision interface. Models with optional increased sensitivity in the NIR range are also available.

AVT introduces the newest member of the Bigeye family: the Bigeye G-283 Cool. It comes equipped with a highly sensitive 2.8 megapixel SonyICX674 sensor with EXView HAD II CCD technology and 4.54 µm pixel pitch. Thanks to its high quantum efficiency and 14-bits per pixel bit depth, this camera offers scientists the ability to visualize fine details with comparatively high resolution. Using pixel binning, sensitivity can be increased by a factor of 4. Moreover, its low-noise design and integrated Peltier cooling make exposure times far exceeding 60 minutes possible.
