Kamera ASI 585 MC Color

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

Specifies the edge length of the mostly square pixels that make up a camera sensor.

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.

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 maximum exposure time in minutes that is possible with this camera.

This camera takes not just one picture, but a certain number per second. Often this value is given the abbreviation "fps" or frames per second. With a high number of images, you can use the advantage of "freezing" the image and the seeing and thus later creating the perfect image.

The full well capacity indicates how many electrons a single pixel can hold. The larger the chip, the more sensitive it is to light, and the more electrons it can absorb. But what does that mean? The noise is reduced at a large full well capacity and the ability to reproduce very bright and dark objects simultaneously increases.
