Andor Technology announced a higher performance from the most sensitive interline CCD camera on the market, Clara. Based on measured QC data from the first 200 cameras built, the company is able to reduce the typical read noise to 2.4 electrons at 1MHz, representing a low detection limit. In addition, a significant improvement to the cooling performance; the Clara now offers cooling to -55 °C with internal fan only (no water required), complementing an impressive -20 °C under fan-off (vibration free) operation is possible.
The camera is based around the 1.3 Megapixel ‘ICX285' sensor from Sony and is engineered to drive a high sensitivity and dynamic range performance available from a high-resolution scientific interline CCD camera. The vacuum process, alongside close attention to thermal management, has resulted in the deep air cooling performance, for elimination of darkcurrent, complementing the uniquely low read noise peformance. Dynamic events can be followed with quantitative stability via low noise 10 or 20 MHz readout modes, the data channeled through a USB 2.0 interface.
