Specially designed for instrumentation cameras which have modular structures and which are specified by 6A003.a.; and
b. Enabling these cameras to meet the characteristics specified by 6A003.a.3., 6A003.a.4., or 6A003.a.5., according to the manufacturer's specifications;
6. A. 003. b. Imaging cameras as follows:
Note: 6A003.b. does not apply to television or video cameras, specially designed for television broadcasting.
1. Video cameras incorporating solid state sensors, having a peak response in the wavelength range exceeding 10 nm, but not exceeding 30,000 nm and having all of the following:
a. Having any of the following:
1. More than 4 x 106 "active pixels" per solid state array for monochrome (black and white) cameras;
2. More than 4 x 106 "active pixels" per solid state array for colour cameras incorporating three solid state arrays; or
3. More than 12 x 106 "active pixels" for solid state array colour cameras incorporating one solid state array; and
b. Having any of the following:
1. Optical mirrors specified by 6A004.a.;
2. Optical control equipment specified by 6A004.d.; or
3. The capability for annotating internally generated 'camera tracking data';
Technical Note:
                   1. For the purposes of 6A003.b.1., digital video cameras should be evaluated by the maximum number of "active pixels" used for capturing moving images.
2. For the purposes of 6A003.b.1.b.3., 'camera tracking data' is the information necessary to define camera line of sight orientation with respect to the earth. This includes: 1) the horizontal angle the camera line of sight makes with respect to the earth's magnetic field direction and; 2) the vertical angle between the camera line of sight and the earth's horizon.
6. A. 003. b. 2. Scanning cameras and scanning camera systems, having all of the following:
a. A peak response in the wavelength range exceeding 10 nm, but not exceeding 30,000 nm;
b. Linear detector arrays with more than 8,192 elements per array; and
c. Mechanical scanning in one direction;
                   Note: 6A003.b.2. does not apply to scanning cameras, and scanning camera systems, specially designed for any of the following:
                       a. Industrial or civilian photocopiers;
                       b. Image scanners specially designed for civil, stationary, close proximity scanning applications (e.g. reproduction of images or print contained in documents, artwork or photographs); or
                       c. Medical equipment.
6. A. 003. b. 3. Imaging cameras incorporating image intensifier tubes specified by 6A002.a.2.a. or 6A002.a.2.b.;
6. A. 003. b. 4. 'Imaging cameras' incorporating "focal plane arrays" having any of the following:
a. Incorporating "focal plane arrays" specified by 6A002.a.3.a. to 6A002.a.3.e.;
b. Incorporating "focal plane arrays" specified by 6A002.a.3.f.; or
c. Incorporating "focal plane arrays" specified by 6A002.a.3.g.;
Note 1: 'Imaging cameras' specified by 6A003.b.4. include "focal plane arrays" combined with sufficient "signal processing" electronics, beyond the read out
