^{MegaView G3}

The MegaView G3 is our new high-speed CCD Camera with up to 160 frames per second. With its 2.9 Megapixel, it doubles its predecessor’s resolution and yielding 6x higher frame rates. Its CCD technology provides perfect signal to noise ratio but still good pricing.
The budget friendly MegaView G3 is equally attractive for users in the bio medical, life sciences and materials science fields.

The MegaView G3 consists of a high yield phosphor screen, a prism to re%ect the image onto the CCD sensor, as well as housing and flange specific to fit almost every TEM. The patented rigid coupled phosphor screen-lens-scintillator-CCD combination provides optimum conditions for artifact-free shading correction. The single port design gives leaves the second port free for other devices.

The MegaView G3 camera system is equipped with a customized high quality lens. In conjunction with the CCD chip and the efficient scintillator, the MegaView G3 system ensures great sensitivity and light efficiency, as well as a high signal-to-noise ratio.
The hyper fast interline CCD image sensor used in the MegaView G3 provides a maximum resolution of 2.8 Megapixel with 14 bit dynamic range. Its extremely high speed proofs the CCD still a perfect technique with a high quantum efficiency.

Several binning modes are supported by the MegaView G3. The users can select between modes of 2x, 4x and 8x binning. This offers sensitivity that can be increased even more. The interline chip uses an electronic shutter.The MegaView G3 offers exposure times ranging from 100 µs to 10s and frame rates of more than 55 images per second at full resolution and more than 155 images per second at binning 5x.

This very high frame rates are ideal for locating suitable specimen segments directly on-screen or adjusting the microscope parameters. At any resolution the camera provides excellent dynamic range and sensitivity.

What makes the MegaView G3 even more attractive is that almost all existing MegaView systems can be upgraded in the field for a fraction of the cost of a new system, hence making even these legacy systems can be made future safe with USB 3.0 and 64 bit operating systems.
