Pushing Detection Boundaries from Particles to Galaxies
The iKon-M platform includes a 1 Megapixel NIR-enhanced Deep Depletion model, ideal for Bose-Einstein Condensation. The iKon-M ‘PV Inspector’ has been designed specifically for Photovoltaic Inspection.
The iKon-L is a revolutionary 4 Megapixel, high-sensitivity CCD platform, delivering outstanding field of view, resolution and dynamic range. This platform is used widely across Astronomy and Bio-Imaging OEM applications.
Features | Benefits |
Unparalleled thermoelectric (TE) cooling performance | negligible dark current, without the aggravation or safety concerns associated with LN2. Market-exclusive TE cooling specs of -100°C with 10°C water chiller/recirculator available from Andor); -80°C with air-cooling via integrated low-noise fan. |
Up to 95% QE | back-illuminated sensors available for maximum photon capture and higher S/N ratio. |
UltraVac™ | proprietary and proven vacuum process, critical for sustained vacuum integrity, sensor protection and unequalled cooling, year after year. |
Up to 4 Megapixel | iKon-L 936 offers large field of view, while maintaining -100 °C TE cooling. |
PV Inspector | iKon-M variant specifically for in-line inspection of Photovoltaics using EL or PL in the NIR. |
Up to 5MHz pixel readout | High frame rates achievable |
USB 2.0 PC interface | “Plug and Play” connectivity direct from camera to PC. |
