Cameras

Basic concepts are described at the cameras communication page.

Currently supported cameras:

  • Andor SDK2 and Andor SDK3: variety of Andor (currently part of Oxford Instruments) cameras. Tested with Andor iXon, Luca, Newton, Zyla, Neo and Marana.

  • Allied Vision Bonito cameras: CameraLink-interfaced cameras. Tested with Bonito CL-400B/C and NI IMAQ frame grabber.

  • Basler: Basler pylon-compatible cameras. Tested with an emulated Basler camera.

  • BitFlow: BitFlow Axion family frame grabbers. Tested with BitFlow Axion 1xB frame grabber together with PhotonFocus MV-D1024E camera.

  • DCAM: Hamamatsu cameras. Tested with Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 and ImagEM.

  • NI IMAQ: National Instruments frame grabbers. Tested with NI PCI-1430 and PCI-1433 frame grabbers together with PhotonFocus MV-D1024E camera.

  • NI IMAQdx: National Instruments universal camera interface. Tested with Ethernet-connected PhotonFocus HD1-D1312 camera.

  • Photon Focus: Photon Focus pfcam interface. Tested with PhotonFocus MV-D1024E camera connected through either NI frame grabbers (PCI-1430 and PCI-1433) or Silicon Software frame grabbers (microEnable IV AD4-CL).

  • PCO SC2: PCO cameras. Tested with pco.edge cameras with CLHS and regular CameraLink interfaces, and with pco.pixelfly usb cameras.

  • Picam: Princeton Instruments cameras. Tested with a PIXIS 400 camera.

  • PVCAM: Photometrics cameras. Tested with a Prime 95B camera.

  • Silicon Software: Silicon Software frame grabbers. Tested with microEnable IV AD4-CL frame grabbers together with PhotonFocus MV-D1024E camera.

  • Thorlabs Scientific Cameras: Thorlabs sCMOS cameras. Tested with Thorlabs Kiralux camera.

  • Uc480/uEye: multiple cameras, including simple Thorlabs and IDS cameras. Tested with IDS SC2592R12M and Thorlabs DCC1545M.

  • Mightex: several different USB camera types with different APIs. Implemented and tested only for S-series cameras.
