Princeton Instruments introduced a new member of the NIRvana family of indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) imaging cameras: the NIRvana 640ST. Princeton Instruments’ scientific-grade NIRvana camera series utilises a deep-cooled InGaAs focal plane array for research. The new NIRvana 640ST has been designed for scientific-imaging applications in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range. Resolution and sensitivity from 900 nanometres (nm) to 1700nm help make the NIRvana 640ST a suitable tool for standard SWIR fluorescence imaging, small animal imaging, astronomy, deep tissue imaging and applications where short integration times in the SWIR region are required.
The NIRvana 640ST offers either built-in air or liquid cooling, or a combination of the two, for use in thermally and vibration-sensitive environments. It also features a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) data interface that allows remote operation from up to 50 metres and delivers a maximum frame rate of 110 frames per second (fps) at full resolution.
This new state-of-the-art camera is available with the latest Princeton Instruments LightField data-acquisition software, which provides complete control over all NIRvana hardware features via an intuitive user interface. LightField provides automatic defect correction, precision exposure control (up to minutes) and a host of functions for easy capture and export of imaging and spectral data. The NIRvana 640ST can be integrated into original equipment manufacturer (OEM) systems using the free 64-bit application programming interface (API) for PI cameras for custom programming (PICAM) software development kit (SDK) from Princeton Instruments.
