AvaLight-D(H)-S Deuterium-Halogen Light Sources
175-2500 nm; Drift <±0.1, <±0.5%/h; Optical Power 11-354 µW; Halogen Lamp Colour Temperature 3,000 K; Power Supply 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz In need of more power than the AvaLight-DHc? The AvaLight-DH-S is Avantes’ most powerful deuterium-halogen source. Like the DHc, the DH-S is also a combined deuterium and halogen light source, capable of transmitting light in the UV/VIS/NIR-range, but has 35 times more halogen output and up to 300 times more deuterium power. The source has a prominent 656 nm deuterium peak which can limit dynamic range (see Avalight-DH-S-BAL as an alternative). It includes a focusing lens assembly, to fully utilize the possibilities and size of your fiber. The AvaLight-D-S is a deuterium light source only, making it a great option for measurements in the UV range, 190 to 400 nm. The AvaLight-D-S-DUV version starts even lower at 175 nm, for your deep-UV experiments. This version also offers twice the intensity at 200 nm. The output of the AvaLight-D(H)-S light source is optimized for fibers or bundles up to 600 µm. For larger fibers, the focal point is manually adjustable to optimize the light coupling into your fiber. The AvaLight-D(H)-S also features an integrated TTL-shutter and filter holder for filters of up to 50 x 50 x 5.0 mm.

B-Series CMOS Cameras
0.36-5 MP; Pixel Size 2.2x2.2-6.0x6.0 µm; Sensor Size 1/3”-1/2” Diagonal; Colour or B/W; 3-310 fps; Resolution 8-12 bit; USB 2.0; Buffered; Progressive Scan; Dynamic Range >55-70 dB; Board-level or Enclosed Mightex’s B-Series USB 2.0 CMOS cameras with frame buffers are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial. B-Series cameras are available as colour or B/W versions, with resolutions from Wide VGA (WVGA, 752x480) up to 5 MP (2592x1944) and 8, 10 or 12 bit, and they can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a 20% higher spatial resolution than their colour counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer colour filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than colour sensors, especially in near IR and UV regions. Mightex’s B-Series cameras feature built-in frame buffers, global shutter (Wide VGA versions), external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. The frame rate can be as high as 60 fps in full resolution and up to 600 fps using ROI mode (depending on colour or B/W and sensor resolution). In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A DirectShow driver and a TWAIN driver are included (except for 5 MP B/W versions), and a USB command set protocol is provided for non-Windows based applications. A Linux driver is also either included (5 MP and Wide VGA B/W versions) or available upon request. Available models are: BCN-C050-U/BCN-C050-US: 5 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-C050-U/BCE-C050-US: 5 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-B050-U/BTN-B050-U: 5 MP, B/W, 8/12 bit, lens mount C or CS, board-level BCE-B050-U/BTE-B050-U: 5 MP, B/W, 8/12 bit, lens mount C or CS, enclosed BCN-C030-U/BCN-C030-US: 3 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-C030-U/BCE-C030-US: 3 MP, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-B013-U/BCN-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-B013-U/BCE-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BTN-B013-U/BTN-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BTE-B013-U/BTE-B013-US: 1.3 MP, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-CG04-U/BCN-CG04-US: WVGA, colour, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-CG04-U/BCE-CG04-US: WVGA, colour, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BCN-BG04-U/BCN-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BCE-BG04-U/BCE-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 8 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed BTN-BG04-U/BTN-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, board-level BTE-BG04-U/BTE-BG04-US: WVGA, B/W, 10 bit, lens mount C/CS, enclosed Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.
