Dragonfly®2

The flexible and full-featured Dragonfly®2 camera offers a choice of six monochrome and color CCD models. Options include board-level or case-enclosed form factors, and a choice between microlens and C/CS lens mounts. It was developed for easy design transition from the original Dragonfly camera and offers double the standard frame rate and on-board color processing. Auto-iris is supported on case-enclosed models only.
