1. Introduction 

 

1.1 General Description 

 

The UP-1800DS-CL is a 10-bit digital CCD camera using progressive scan sensor.   This compact 
and lightweight camera offers excellent signal to noise performance at a reasonable price.  The 
square pixels are especially suitable for processing, measuring, and analyzing tasks. High speed 
moving objects can be captured with the external asynchronous capture control.

1.3 Applications 

 

UP-1800DS-CL applications include machine vision, automated inspection, motion capture and 
analysis, high-resolution graphics capture, medical imaging, biomedical imaging, non-contact 

measurement, microscopy, and other scientific and industrial applications where near infrared 
(NIR) and high sensitivity is required.
