I'm considering either the 640x480 Scorpion, because of it's 9.9
micron pixels (only available in grayscale though), or perhaps the
1600x1200 color version (but it's about $2K, yikes!). I'd look into
the Optronix cameras too, but from what I remember, Milton thought
they'd be really expensive.
Besides price, the Optronix cameras need a separate AC power source (weighs about 10 lbs), and the camera weighs around 5 lbs. Size wise, you can fit around 5 TIS cameras in the same space as one Optronix camera - so it's big and heavy and more like a SBIG unit.
