From memory, the camera uses a KAI4000 image sensor. This is a 90s\/00s era image sensor. The sensor effectively operates as 4 independent image sensors. For the fastest\/most consistent readout you probably want to acquire images from all 4 quadrants at the same time. As such this camera duplicates analog and acquisition circuits four times. A AD9225 ADC is used, and four of these are present under shields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bunch of Xilinx FPGAs are used to acquire data from the ADCs\/send it to a host computer. I do not have the interface card required to operate this camera, so can&#8217;t test this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCD is cooled using a TEC. Again from memory, the feedback does not appear to be an RTD. If I remember correctly a thermistor was embedded in the TEC block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this camera is branded by Kodak, I think I&#8217;ve seen similar units from Princeton\/Roper. Possibly these were re-branded. However it seems like there may have been a number of acquisitions in the 2000s and perhaps someone acquired Kodak&#8217;s (scientific\/industrial) camera unit&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5686\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0325.jpg\" width=\"559\" height=\"745\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5693\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0324.jpg\" width=\"571\" height=\"761\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5688\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0323.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"764\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5689\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0322.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"766\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5692\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0318.jpg\" width=\"559\" height=\"745\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5687\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0319.jpg\" width=\"567\" height=\"756\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5699\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0320.jpg\" width=\"569\" height=\"758\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5696\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0321.jpg\" width=\"562\" height=\"749\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5691\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0308.jpg\" width=\"571\" height=\"761\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5694\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0310.jpg\" width=\"571\" height=\"761\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5702\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0311.jpg\" width=\"569\" height=\"758\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5698\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0312.jpg\" width=\"558\" height=\"744\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5700\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0313.jpg\" width=\"567\" height=\"756\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5695\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0317.jpg\" width=\"567\" height=\"756\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5697\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0316.jpg\" width=\"569\" height=\"758\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5701\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0315.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"764\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5703\" src=\"https:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_0314.jpg\" width=\"574\" height=\"766\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post contains tear-down reference images for a Kodak Es 4.0 camera.
