Cooling a Digital Camera?

Posted by Cliff on from the cryogenic-photogenic dept.

thusson asks: "I work at a lab doing intrinsic signal imaging of cat and mouse visual cortex (brains). We are using a Dalsa 1M60P camera, and we want to cool it about 30-50 degrees C to improve picture quality by reducing noise. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this? So far, heat sinks have helped but only by a few degrees. I figure the overclocking community is a good place for novel ideas."

    Why not just throw it in the freezer for a few hours before the experiment. As long as the experiment isn't too long, you should be able to take it out, use it, and return it to the freezer for the next round.
