The scientific super-resolution cameras from greateyes form a brand-new class of scientifc cameras for high performance spectroscopy and imaging from the near-infrared to X-ray region. At its heart, the latest technology advancement developed together with Max-Born-Institute Berlin, provides true sub-pixel resolution of the detector, and thus offering increased spatial or spectral resolution in comparison to standard scientific cameras.
The innovative technology is available for all greateyes camera series.
greateyes scientific cameras are known for their ultra low readout noise, exceptional high quantum efficiencies, low dark currents by deep sensor cooling and highest dynamic range. The latter requires a large pixel size with an associated high full well capacity. As a consequence, the spatial resolution of the standard scientific cameras is limited. The novel greateyes camera class integrates the super-resolution technique to achieve effective sub-pixel resolution. For this purpose, several images are aquired, each with the detector shifted stepwise in the sub-pixel micrometer range. From the set of individual frames an image with higher resolution is generated. The entire measurement sequence is fully automated.
Acquisition of a super-resolution image is as simple as taking a single image. All other performance parameters are the same as for standard scientific greateyes cameras. Images (A) and (B) of a diatom show the different resolution of an original and super-resolution image. The image taken with super-resolution camera (B) shows a clearly increased resolution compared to original image (A).
