Andor Newton EMCCD camera

Andoe Newton EMCCD camera

Overview

This high-end USB2.0 Newton CCD series brings together Andor’s ultra fast, lownoise electronics platform and market-leading deep thermo-electric cooling to -100°C, complemented by Andor’s Ultravac™ technology with its un-matched reliability track record in the scientific and industrial community.Broadband detection rates of up to 1,600 spectra per second are enabled with intelligent Crop Mode operation. The Newton CCD is an ideal tool for ultrafast UV, VIS or NIR spectroscopy (or all the above with the Dual AR-coating BEX2-DD technology!), such as 2D chemical mapping, online process monitoring or non-invasive medical diagnosis.

The Newton 940 series offers 13.5 x 13.5 μm pixels for the highest UV to VIS resolution spectroscopy, while the 920 series and its 26 x 26 μm offers the highest dynamic range for UV to NIR applications. Both > 6.6 mm high sensors are ideally suited for multi-track spectroscopy or hyper-spectral imaging.

 

 

Features:

  • EM sensor technology < 1e read noise
  • Fringe suppression technology as standard (970-BVF only):
    Fringing minimized for NIR applications
  • Multi-Megahertz Readout:
    High repetition rates achievable with low noise electronics
  • TE cooling to -100°C:
    Negligible dark current without the inconvenience of LN2.
  • UltraVac™:
    Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year after year.
  • 16 x 16 μm pixel size:
    Optimized pixel size for high resolution spectroscopy.
  • Dual output amplifiers:
    Software-selectable between conventional CCD output (low light) or an Electron Multiplying output (ultra low light).
  • Crop Mode operation:
    Achieve the highest possible spectral rates of over 1,500 spectra per second.
  • USB 2.0 connection:
    Ideal for laptop operation Seamless operation alongside USB-based Shamrock spectrograph family.
  • Solis software for Spectroscopy:
    Comprehensive, user-friendly interface for simultaneous detector & spectrograph control.
  • Software Development Kit (SDK):
    Ease of control integration into complex setups: Matlab, Labview, Visual Basic or C/ C++.
