CCD Camera for UV-VIS and NIR Imaging

Hamamatsu Photonics new C8000-30 CCD camera offers UV-VIS-NIR imaging at extremely high sensitivity. In the UV range, the proprietary Hamamatsu manufactured back-thinned CCD achieves a Quantum Efficiency (QE) in excess of 60%, whilst in the near infrared region, the QE is over 90%.
A fill factor of 100% leads to a highly efficient operation for applications such as mask inspection in UV lithography and characterisation of optics.

Dual Wavelength Imaging – The Ultimate Solution

The ORCA-D2 CCD camera is designed around two ER-150 CCD devices.  It can capture simultaneous dual wavelength or multiple focal plane images.  Each CCD captures a field of view measuring 1280 (H) x 960 (V) pixels, and each CCD has independent exposure and gain settings to accommodate significantly different intensity levels between the two images as is often seen in FRET and ratio imaging applications.   moreJul. 28, 2011
