Here is the old Atmel camera, now retired. They put in about 8 years of faithful service, I suspect close to 12 million images with our team and the back shift - a team brought in by the NAS to image the later collections of the Borough Sasines.
Along with the Atmels, dCAM 1.3 was also retired as the new cameras were installed. They are called Illunis and have 16 million pixels give or take the odd pixel. They work with dCAM 2.5. Although it's not the newest version, it is an improvement on 1.3. They are a colour camera and the speed of capture is something else! No longer do we wait for 8 or more seconds before we can raise the glass! With the right document and a willing hand, over 20 images a secomd can be captured.
The old and new, side by side. No RGB filter required either! Only 2 cables too! How things have changed.
