Diffraction Limited’s line of high performance or “scientific grade” CCD and CMOS cameras are designed to operate under extremely low-light conditions with high sensitivity, low noise, and good linearity and dynamic range. Let’s discuss some of these factors in detail, and why they matter when choosing a detector. Detection performance of the camera is all about […]
I’m often asked how CMOS Active Pixel Sensors differ from CCD sensors in terms of image calibration. For me, as a camera designer and a user, it’s been something of a learning process—not all CMOS sensors behave the same way. There are some rather surprising differences compared to CCD sensors. The basic principles are largely […]
Have you heard about Diffraction’s StackPro™ in-camera stacking feature? Before we get to describing all the fantastic things it does, let’s first talk about some of the challenges that necessitate it. Modern CMOS active pixel sensors have all the analog processing built into the sensor. Certainly, this is an advantage compared to the older, more […]
We did it, with your help. You’ve wanted an affordable imaging package with everything. Not a bargain “hobby camera,” but a best-bang-for-the-buck CMOS camera with SBIG quality built-in, integrated filters, and StackPro™ technology. Introducing the new SBIG STC-7: our flagship scientific CMOS camera for seasoned and newcomer Astro-photographers. About freaking time. Diffraction Limited spent over […]
Stumped by a tough imaging problem? Recently, a medical instrumentation maker contacted us with just such a problem. They created a scintillation technology that needs a low-light camera to detect photons in a unique way. Together, we developed a solution. Here’s how. Diffraction Limited creates innovative solutions for low-light imaging, and we have nearly 30 […]
Want to increase your observing efficiency? Diffraction Limited introduces MaxIm DL Maestro, a game-changing new capability for its Cyanogen Imaging® MaxIm DL Pro, the gold standard in astronomical image acquisition and processing software. Maestro brings the ability to synchronize multiple simultaneous cameras under leadership of a primary imaging system. This allows you to achieve results […]
