Andor’s C-RED camera series features a range of InGaAs based cameras optimised for challenging quantitative scientific measurements within the NIR II/SWIR imaging spectrum. Exceptional sensitivity is matched to high speeds and wide dynamic range over a wide field of view. Superb application flexibility built in to capture both fast and slow processes up to several minutes exposure alike.
The C-RED Camera Series offers a number of InGaAs based imaging solutions for demanding scientific research. Image thicker and more biologically relevant, tissues, organs and even small animal models by exploiting the NIR II/SWIR spectrum.
