WATERLOO, ONTARIO – January 24, 2011 – DALSA Corporation [TSX: DSA], a global leader in digital imaging technology, will showcase its latest advances at the SPIE Photonics West conference, including the company’s newest high speed CMOS cameras, a high sensitivity cooled camera for astronomy imaging, and X-ray detectors. SPIE Photonics West is being held in San Francisco, January 25 – 27, 2011; DALSA will be exhibiting in booth 5014.

DALSA will showcase and demonstrate its newest advancements in digital image sensors, cameras and detectors, including:

High resolution High speed CMOS camera for Industrial and Scientific Applications – DALSA’s leading high resolution/high speed CMOS cameras utilize proven global shutter technology, embedded high speed analog-to-digital conversions, large full well for excellent high dynamic range, and digital control interface for simplified sensor configuration and control.

Advanced TDI X-ray Detectors – DALSA’s new Argus platform is an innovative TDI CCD digital X-ray detector platform for high resolution Digital Radiography (DR) applications. The cameras provide large field of view (from 11 cm to 44 cm) and are highly customizable for unique X-ray applications.

Highly Sensitive, Cooled Scientific Camera – Based on DALSA’s High Quanta series of sensors, this camera is designed to meet exacting scientific applications requiring high sensitivity and low noise performance. The sensor is sealed and cooled to very low temperatures, ideal for advanced scientific applications such as astronomy imaging.

CCD High Quantum Efficiency Sensors – This family of high performance sensors features a very high light sensitivity. Together with the low dark current performance, low noise amplifier design and the unparalleled linear dynamic range, they are engineered for low light scientific imaging applications.

With over 30 years of history in providing high performance digital imaging and semiconductors solutions, from image sensor fabrication to cameras, frame grabbers and vision software, DALSA is in a unique position to provide cutting edge solutions to the unique imaging demands of the scientific and research community.
