HS camera system from Teledyne Princeton

Instruments. The system has been thoroughly tested to meet Teledyne Princeton
Instruments’ exacting standards and to meet the demanding requirements of many low
light level imaging applications.
This manual provides users with information necessary to install a NIRvana HS camera
and place it in operation. Topics include a detailed description of the NIRvana HS
camera family as well as the installation, applications, cleaning, and specifications of the
camera system.

1.1

Intended Audience

This user manual is intended to be used by scientists and other personnel responsible
for the installation, setup, configuration, and acquisition of imaging data being
collected using the NIRvana HS camera system.
This document provides all information necessary to safely install, configure, and
operate the NIRvana HS camera system beginning with the system’s initial installation.
Please read this manual carefully before attempting to operate the camera. Doing so
will help minimize the learning curve and optimize the many features of this camera to
suit all research needs.

1.2

Intended Use of Equipment

The intended use of the NIRvana HS is to take images and/or measurements of light in
the short wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. It can be used for SWIR imaging and SWIR
spectroscopy.
