The MallinCam SSI is a dedicated planetary, lunar and solar (with proper solar filter)imager that runs through USB 2 and a PC computer. Image are displayed live with the same CRS system (Constant Refreshed System) as the MallinCam Universe. Not only you can view live solar system object but you can record in AVI, BMP, TIFF and JPEG for unsurpassed image quality. The heart of the new MallinCam SSI is the 1.49 MegaPixel sCMOS Ceramic scientific class 0 sensor with pixles size of 3.64 microns and total size image of 1.39 MegaPixels.

The external case of the MallinCam Solar System Imager is made of all metal cast aluminum for heat transfer for greater efficiency. External color of the camera has been introduced to reject all solar heat when camera is exposed to direct sunlight. A 1.25" eyepiece adapter is included and comes with a 5 meter (16.4 feet ) USB 2 cable. MallinCam Camera is powered from the USB source from the PC computer.

The MallinCam SSI uses a C mount system to facilitate mounting with other MallinCam accessories and from third party accessories. The front has a sealed chamber with a multicoated optical glass preventing dust entering on the sCMOS and keeping maintenance to a minimum.

The internal rear of the MallinCam Solar System Imager has a CNC machined Cold Finger which offers a passive cooling to the sCMOS sensor stabilizing the sensor temperature and spreading the heat to the entire external cabinet and front of 1.25" adapter and through the telescope focuser. A unique design in the industry only from MallinCam.

The MallinCam SSI incorporate a high QE highly acclaimed sCMOS (Scientific CMOS) class 0 made of ceramic compare to other cameras on the market which are plastic from low cost webcam style design. Available in monochrome (SSIm) or color (SSIc), performance is stunning when use with quality optics. The color version (SSIc) can be switched from color to monochrome at a click of a mouse and yet retain the high performance of the sCMOS in either mode. The monochrome version (SSIm) offer a superior contrast and finer detail only attainable from a monochrome sensor. We are not afraid to show the highly engineered electronics and electromechanical passive cooling. Does others do the same? MallinCam is totally tranparent in their goals and engineering. We like to share with you their pride in perfection in performance and unbeatable quality only found in a MallinCam. Cameras built to last for quality performance.
