Camera Window Selector

Please use the camera windows tool to view available windows for your selected camera model. The standard camera window has been selected due to its suitability for most applications. However, other options are readily available without requiring a Customer Special Request (CSR). This interactive tool allows you to view and select the correct optional camera window and associated part code for your camera type. Refer to the Technical Note Ho w to Select a Window for your Camera for further technical information.

To use this tool first, select the Family from the dropdown, then the Model and finally select from the different window options. Once selected the quantum efficiency data and windows transmission data will be shown in the graphs below. For each camera model the standard window does not require a separate order code, however, for optional windows, the tool will generate the order code required.

Notes

All measurements taken under ambient conditions, except for iKon-XL at -100°C
Sona 4BV6 and Marana 4BV6 windows transmission data for the standard window is applicable for models after November 2023. For previous window transmission data please see Balor standard window transmission.
