Company information
Our company has received high praise for our domestically produced cooling cameras, and for many years we have released various cooling cameras for astrophotography and industrial low-light imaging. A cooling camera is a camera that cools the sensor to below 0°C to reduce noise, allowing for high S/N ratio images even in dark environments or with weak light. We offer a lineup of cameras that can capture faint emissions and special wavelengths such as ultraviolet and near-infrared, which are not possible with regular cameras. Additionally, we also accept custom camera orders, so please feel free to contact us. Applications of cooling cameras: ■ Astronomical observation ■ Detection of weak light ■ Light measurement ■ Biological microscopy ■ Fluorescence microscopy imaging ■ Medical field ■ Special applications such as X-rays, ultraviolet, and near-infrared
