Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K. C8250-24 MCT DEWAR CAMERA at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products! Up to three cameras can by operated simultaneously with the multicamera plugin; HiPic. Datasheet; Operating systems supported: Windows 7/8.1/10 (32-bit and 64-bit) A general-purpose image acquisition software, supporting virtually all features of Hamamatsu CCD cameras (digital and analog) All DCAM supported cameras except color cameras. Using the TDI technology and our newly developed method with highsensitivity, C15400-30-50A enables you to obtain high-contrast images ininspecting those materials even with low energy X-ray. With this device, for thin objects such as light element/lightweight materials (ex. CFRP) and other sheet materials, inspections of thickness, dents, streaks, and uneven bonding, which have been difficult.
Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (浜松ホトニクス株式会社, Hamamatsu Hotonikusu Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese manufacturer of optical sensors (including photomultiplier tubes), electric light sources, and other optical devices and their applied instruments for scientific, technical and medical use.[2][3]
The company was founded in 1953 by Heihachiro Horiuchi, a former student of Kenjiro Takayanagi, who is known as 'the father of Japanese television'.[4]
Hermann Simon, a leading German business author and thinker, mentioned Hamamatsu in his book titled Hidden Champions of the Twenty-First Century: The Success Strategies of Unknown World Market Leaders as an example of a 'Hidden Champion'.[2]
Hamamatsu CCD image sensors are used at the Subaru Telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.[5]
Hamamatsu Photonics' photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) were used in the Super-Kamiokandeneutrino detector facility at the University of Tokyo where 2015 Nobel Prize Laureate Takaaki Kajita conducted his research. In using products contributed by Hamamatsu Photonics, 'Kajita was able to prove that neutrinos do in fact have mass -- a major shift in our fundamental understanding of how the universe works,' said Tom Baer, chair of the Photonics Industry Neuroscience Group of the National Photonics Initiative. 'This win is a tremendous accomplishment for Kajita and Hamamatsu Photonics.'[6]
The sensors made by the company also helped confirm the existence of the Higgs boson in research that led to the 2013 Nobel Physics prize.[7]
In March 2020, Hamamatsu Photonics established a subsidiary, Hamamatsu Photonics Korea Co,. Ltd, to increase sales in the Asian region.[8][9]
