Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has developed three new image sensors that feature a high-speed charge transfer structure in each pixel to enable high-precision TOF (time-of-flight) distance measurements. The S11961-01CR is the industry’s first linear image sensor for TOF distance measurement, and the S11962-01CR and S11963-01CR are area image sensors for 3D distance-measuring cameras.

Hamamatsu Photonics has announced that from the 1st November 2012, it began shipping samples of its new Micro PMT assembly to manufacturers of analytical and measurement instruments. The μPMT is a next-generation, ultra-compact photomultiplier tube that is fabricated through the use of in-house semiconductor processes for micro-electro-mechanical systems devices.

The ORCA-Flash4.0 scientific CMOS camera now includes Hamamatsu’s new ImageConductor ConnectivityTM, a built-in camera function that automatically senses which of the camera’s two output connections, USB 3.0 or Camera Link, is being used. The default USB 3.0 configuration provides 30 frames per second imaging at the full 2K x 2K resolution. If a faster frame rate is needed now or later, the camera can be easily upgraded by purchasing a high-s...

Hamamatsu Photonics UK Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Tim Stokes as their new Managing Director.

Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has announced the release of the NanoZoomer-XR, the newest addition to the NanoZoomer product line for whole-slide scanning. The new NanoZoomer-XR minimizes workload and slide scanning time by automatically and continuously scanning up to 320 slides over two times faster than the NanoZoomer HT and RS scanners.

Visiopharm and Hamamatsu today announced a non-exclusive worldwide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement and reseller partnership for Visiopharm’s Quantitative Digital Pathology (QDP) solutions.
