I'm going through a product catalog for high speed and scientific cameras
http://www.cookecorp.com
and I'm seeing a number use thermo-electric cooling.

I was wondering how much this could drop the noise floor if they can produce
-50K verses ambient temperature?

The double shutter option in some of the units is interesting. Useful for high-contrast scenes. How to remove inter frame ghosting/softening, I'm not sure, probably image tracking/frame building software. This has been discussed before.

While Red doesn't call itself a scientific camera company, I wonder if there is something to be gleaned here?
