Do not allow these cables to pull on the CCD unit you risk breaking it off.Use the supplied EU or US regulated transformer. The bayonet video cable, up to 20m or more long, is plugged directly into the monitor.A small TFT monitor is an inexpensive solution for monitoring the image of the neutron beam, and if required can be used in parallel with a computer. Use the four 4mm screws on the back of the camera body. Supporting the camera and using a Video Monitorĭo not support the camera from the small CCD unit - you risk breaking the CCD unit from the camera body. Suitable for beams of 104 to 109 n.c-1 (less than 103 n.c-1 with cooling).Reasonable Images at only104.n.c-1 with 10s exposures.Nominal sensitivity 1 neutron/sec per 100 micron pixel (80圆0mm compact camera).Nominal image resolution ~100 microns (80圆0mm compact camera).
Manual gain control (8-38dB) and Gamma correction (3 steps).Simultaneous output of composite video & Y/C signals.On-board electronic frame integration system (Slow shutter speed).Fast shutter speed: exposures of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 msec.Exposure selected by hand-held remote controller on 3m or longer cable.Ultra low light sensitivity (0.00001 lux at f1.0), S/N ratio: 52dB.Low light f1.0 lens (order of magnitude brighter than a normal camera).Front-surfaced Al/SiO2-mirror optical flatness 2λ/25mm reflectivity 94%.Rare-earth ultra-fast x-ray scintillator, green emission (~520nm).LiF/ZnS neutron scintillator, green emission (~520nm).This video camera is still available, but is being phased out in favour of the slim USB camera, which is entirely digital. It is ideal for monitoring samples in-beam on a simple TV monitor, but the images can also be digitised and saved on a computer. The original Watec video CCD integrates the exposure in-camera, outputting the integrated image in real-time as a standard PAL video signal. The Watec WAT-120N+RC Video Neutron Camera If you have the EMCCD camera, you need these instructions instead. If you have the Laue camera, you need these instructions instead.
If you have the Macro x-ray camera, you need these instructions instead. If you have the High Resolution CCD, you need these instructions instead. If you have the slim USB CCD, you need these instructions instead.
No software is needed with the optional TFT or other TV or composite video monitor. These instructions are for the Watec video camera, with the supplied software.
