Quick question for you camera makers
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:23 am
The only mechanical camera I have to hand is a colour one and uses photomultipliers. And anyway, it's stuck in the store room and is so big and heavy I won't be shifting it for a good few years.
For those of you who have made/are making a mechanical Nipkow camera that uses a solar cell or photodiode, can you tell me what typical working signal levels are, as measured at the photodiode?
I'm expected this will be a very small figure. In this connexion, any info about the noise floor of such devices would be most interesting too...
Thanks,
Steve O
