Join Forces to Achieve Full Adaptation —— Hamamatsu China Visits StarTest Electronics

In late August, a team of technical experts from Hamamatsu China visited StarTest Electronics. Both sides held special technical review discussions on the completed hardware‑software adaptation results of Hamamatsu C15550‑22UP single‑photon camera and StarTest Electronics PCIe1004 frame grabber, conducting in‑depth exchanges on system performance and large‑scale industry application scenarios.

StarTest Electronics extended a warm welcome to the Hamamatsu China delegation. During the meeting, technical specialists from both sides reviewed real‑world scientific test scenarios. They reviewed and verified the complete adaptation results by analyzing the data output protocol and timing characteristics of Hamamatsu C15550‑22UP single‑photon camera, as well as the hardware interface, driver logic and high‑speed data transmission capabilities of StarTest Electronics PCIe1004 frame grabber. The team reproduced the full workflow on‑site and confirmed that data transmission stability, synchronous image acquisition and software‑hardware parameter matching all meet design specifications.

The Hamamatsu C15550‑22UP is a high‑performance single‑photon detection camera featuring outstanding low‑light sensitivity, widely used in cutting‑edge research fields including quantum imaging, biological fluorescence microscopy and ultra‑low‑light observation. The StarTest Electronics PCIe1004 frame grabber is dedicated to high‑speed image acquisition and delivers high‑bandwidth, low‑latency data transmission for imaging systems. The two devices have achieved complete and stable compatibility, and the full low‑light imaging solution reaches world‑leading standards. It effectively lowers system‑integration barriers for domestic researchers and enables fast setup of complete low‑light imaging experimental platforms. Both parties agree that this mature adaptation solution carries great practical significance for advancing domestic scientific‑research industry development.

Based on this proven and deployed adaptation achievement, the two parties also discussed long‑term cooperation plans. Participants exchanged views on future firmware & driver iteration pre‑research, rapid issue‑response mechanisms, construction of joint test environments and end‑user‑oriented technical support. Both sides stated they will leverage this face‑to‑face technical session as an opportunity to deepen technical collaboration and deliver more proven, complete imaging solutions.

This visit by Hamamatsu China further consolidates StarTest Electronics’ cooperation foundation with leading optoelectronic enterprises. Going forward, StarTest Electronics will keep exploring high‑speed image‑acquisition hardware, strengthen technical cooperation with global manufacturers, continuously expand its portfolio of validated product adaptations, provide high‑quality image‑acquisition products and technical services for scientific‑research and industrial clients, and fuel innovative growth of China’s optoelectronic imaging industry.
