CCD camera? connections

[ChrisR]

I bought a s/h microscope lens and surprisingly it came with half a microscope and a bit of wire coming out.

there's a camera, with a CCD sensor about 8mm square or so, in a cylinder of metal about 12mm diameter, and a socket on the back, That has a connector with a edit threaded collar, with 12 pins. There's half a metre of cable, 12 ways, just chopped off.
SO, does that sound like a standard connection?

The scope part has a name on it. - Definitely not current and not too recent, could be 20 years old, no idea.

At 20 years old it might not be a CCD sensor but a Plumbicon, Vidicon or similar camera tube. The sensor is behind or part of the flat end of a glass tube.

The target ( sensor ) has the image projected on its front and an electron beam scans the rear to read the image. Behind the sensor inside the glass tube would be something like a miniature cathode ray tube with coils around it and/or plates inside it. The 12 way lead would be carrying the scanning signals to the tube and the beam current ( = image brightness at the point scanned ) from the tube.

I know the things you mean, but no, it's deffo a sensor like in my webcam, Nikon SLR, etc.

The make of the part it fits into is Moritex. Nothing similar on their current site.
