In the September issue of Space Quarterly, Sr. Satellite Engineer with Telesat and Chair of the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Space Society Ryan Anderson brings Nüvü Camēras into the limelight. From the ability to simply produce less noise to control EMCCDs, Nüvü Camēras avoids the use of noise filtering algorithms that may eliminate valuable data in addition to noise. Mentioning some of Nüvü Camēras’ most recognized customers including NASA for future applications in space, the article features VP and CTO Olivier Daigle. He provides insights on how the determination for state of the art instrumentation in astronomy helped Nüvü Camēras achieve such a reputation through scientific publications and how they lead to opportunities in the biomedical field as well as the OEM market for integrated imaging systems.
