Description
Watec LCL-902C Low Light B&W CCD Camera Sony HAD w/ Long Lens ThorLabs Mount
The Watec LCL-902C is a compact monochrome CCD camera from Watec America's 902 series, built around a Sony Super HAD CCD detector for extremely sensitive low-light imaging. With a minimum illumination rating of 0.003 lux at f/1.4, the LCL-902C captures usable images in near-dark conditions. It is functionally equivalent to the WAT-902B sold under the Watec Japan brand. This listing includes the camera body, an attached long lens assembly, and a ThorLabs 973 optical table post mount.

Applications
The Watec 902 series cameras are widely used in scientific, aerospace, and industrial imaging applications that require high sensitivity in low-light or near-dark environments. Common applications include optical bench experiments, beam alignment and profiling, astronomical imaging, machine vision in controlled laboratory settings, and research-grade video microscopy. The Sony Super HAD CCD technology provides low noise and high quantum efficiency, making these cameras popular in physics and engineering labs where standard cameras would not capture sufficient signal. The LCL-902C's compact form factor and standard CS-mount lens compatibility make it straightforward to integrate into custom optical setups, and the included ThorLabs 973 optical table mount allows it to be positioned directly on a standard optical breadboard or rail system.
This Watec LCL-902C Low Light B&W CCD Camera came from an optical research aerospace lab as part of a larger equipment lot. It appears to have been well cared for and is in good physical condition. The camera body, long lens assembly, and ThorLabs 973 optical table mount all show normal wear consistent with laboratory use, with no obvious damage visible.
