The core of the C11440-50B camera is the new scientific image sensor
FL-280, an advanced CMOS detector that simultaneously achieves high
resolution, fast readout speeds and low noise. With its small size,
board-level design and simple, low-cost integration using IEEE1394b
with bus power, the C11440-50B is the ideal camera for OEM scientific
imaging.
