The C4742-96-12G04 ORCA-285 is a high resolution digital camera using a progressive scan interline CCD chip with no mechanical shutter. In addition to a high resolution of 1.37 million pixels, a wide dynamic range of 12 bit digital output and high sensitivity offers a wide application range down to low light level imaging. Peltier cooling drastically reduces dark noise and minimizes thermal drift, which makes camera an ideal choice for demanding scientific and industrial application.

A high performance serial bus IEEE 1394 is used as a computer interface. Furthermore,a standard C-mount lens coupling makes it easy to connect to optics such asoptical microscopes.
