Camera G3-11000C1 Sensor Class 1 Mono

Indicates the type or construction of the chip.

Specifies the total number of pixels. With this handy value you can compare the resolutions of different cameras.

For long exposure times, many CCD cameras are cooled to reduce thermal noise and achieve higher image quality. CCD cameras are grouped into three categories:
- no cooling
- passive cooling via cooling fins
- active cooling (e.g. using a fan and Peltier element)

The interface is the type of connection or cable between the device (e.g. a camera) and computer, such as: USB, RS232, firewire or analogue video.

Colour cameras produce quick results, monochrome cameras capture more detail.

The chip size comprises the outer dimensions of the chip. The larger the chip, the larger the image field produced.

The bit depth is also referred to as the dynamic range of a chip. The number of bits in a picture also determines how many different shades of grey can be displayed. The depth of the image information depends directly on it. In an image taken with 1 bit depth, you will only see black and white dots. In this case, you can hardly call it a picture. Many details that the naked eye can discern are missing. 16 bits means the presentation of more than 65.000 shades of grey.

This refers to whether a filter wheel is integrated in the camera housing, or is included in the scope of delivery as an external filter wheel.
