Radiation Tolerant Cameras

The AquaRAD^®, the ColorRAD^tm and the MegaRAD^tm radiation tolerant cameras.

The AquaRAD^® Underwater Camera

The AquaRAD^® is the world's first and only highly radiation tolerant color solid state camera for use in underwater applications. The AquaRAD® is available exclusively from Symphotic TII Corporation.
The AquaRAD^® and AeRAD^tm cameras are now available with a series of options for your application: static or motorized right angle viewer, underwater pan and tilt, and zoom or standard lens configuration. It can also be built in a low profile configuration for tight inspections.

Also available as a monochrome version, the AquaRAD^® series of cameras can take a closer look at your high radiation inspection targets underwater.

Key Features

• Radiation tolerant to beyond 3 x 10⁶ Rad--3 x 10⁴  Gy

• Close focus for underwater inspection

• Right angle viewer

• Color, solid state imager--simple to setup, simple to use

• NTSC or PAL versions available.

• Analog Video or USB Video output

The ColorRAD^tm  Custom Radiation Tolerant Camera Systems

Base ColorRAD^tm radiation tolerant camera head

The ColorRAD series are custom designed cameras for use in hot cells and radiation environments where conventional cameras would fail.  Using the same CID technology as our AquaRAD^® cameras, but with the capability for longer cable lengths, and zoom lenses, we can configure a camera for your most demanding requirements.

Key Features

• Radiation tolerant to beyond 3 x 10⁶ Rad--3 x 10⁴  Gy

• Configure with zoom or fixed focal length lens, rad tolerant glasses or replaceable lenses

• Color, solid state imager--simple to setup, simple to use

• Extended cable lengths to simplify penetration design

The MegaRAD Monochrome Camera

The MegaRAD^tm radiation tolerant air camera

Where simple installation, rugged design, and low cost, the MegaRAD camera is ideal for radiation environments in otherwise ambient environmental conditions.

Key Features

• Radiation tolerant to beyond 1 x 10⁶ Rad--1 x 10⁴  Gy

• Configure with zoom or fixed focal length lens, rad tolerant glasses or replaceable lenses

• Monochrome, solid state imager--simple to setup, simple to use

• Extended cable lengths to simplify penetration design

• Low cost

WHY CID?

AquaRAD® and AeRAD^tm images (above): The picture on the right is a screen shot taken at t=0, 10,000 Rad/hr (100Gy/hr) dose rate.  The picture on the left is the same imager taken at t=45hr, or 0.45 MegaRAD (4500Gy) total dose.

CCD camera images (above):  For comparison, the picture on the right is a CCD camera at t=0, 10,000 Rad/hr (100Gy/hr) dose rate, and on the left, the same imager after 1 hr, total dose = 0.01 MegaRAD (100Gy).
