CCD and sCMOS cameras for direct detection
Marana-X, iKon SO and Newton SO from Oxford Instruments AndorBesides their standard use as imaging devices CCD and sCMOS sensors are also suitable for the direct detection of VUV, EUV light and soft X-rays. For this purpose, we offer back illuminated CCD and sCMOS sensors without anti-reflection coatings and micro-lens arrays. Deep thermoelectric cooling as well as good linearity and homogeneity allow to detect even the weakest signals over long exposure times.
- Back illuminated CCD and sCMOS sensors without anti-reflection coatings
- Pixel sizes 6.5 µm, 13 µm, 13.5 µm, 15 µm, and 26 µm
- Thermo-electrical cooling to -100 °C for negligible dark current
- High quality 16 and 18 bit AD converters for low readout noise
- Flanges compatible with any vacuum port
Further information
We offer vacuum compatible CCD detectors with various sensor formats. Detection of VUV, EUV light and soft X-rays occurs by direct absorption of photons in the depletion layer of a pixel. Depending on the energy of the photon a number of electron-hole pairs is created. Excellent linearity and homogeneity ensures the quality of measurement data. CF or other type of vacuum flanges can be offered upon request. Andor X-ray cameras are used in many research labs for high energy physics around the world.
