Our intensified camera solutions leverage advanced image intensification technology to deliver high-performance imaging in low-light conditions. Our decades of expertise and commitment to quality ensure that every camera meets the most rigorous standards for reliability and precision. When you choose Excelitas, you benefit from our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in imaging technology, ensuring superior performance for your most demanding applications.

Intensified cameras operate by amplifying the available light to produce a clear and detailed image, even in conditions where light is extremely limited. These cameras utilize an image intensifier, which converts photons into electrons, amplifies the electron signal, and then converts the amplified signal back into a visible image. This process enables an intensified camera to capture images in near-total darkness, making them indispensable tools in various fields. Intensified cameras are used in applications where low-light imaging is critical. They are extensively employed in scientific research, military and defense, industrial inspection, and medical imaging. Whether capturing fleeting events in high-speed phenomena or conducting surveillance in low-light conditions, Excelitas’ comprehensive line of intensified camera solutions provides the sensitivity and clarity needed for accurate and reliable imaging.

Excelitas offers a range of intensified cameras designed to meet diverse imaging needs:

• Our Single-Channel Intensified Cameras, including the pco.dicam C1 Standard, C1 UHS, C1 LX, and C1 LT models, are engineered for exceptional image quality, sensitivity, and ultra-short exposure times, making them ideal for capturing high-speed events and imaging in low-light environments.
• Meanwhile, our Multi-Channel Intensified Cameras feature systems are equipped with 4 to 8 cameras in parallel, delivering unmatched speed and versatility by allowing individual channel addressing and achieving up to 8 fully resolved images in just 32 nanoseconds.
