CCD sensors handle low light levels The S7010, S7011, and S7015 front-illuminated FFT CCD area

CCD sensors handle low light levels The S7010, S7011, and S7015 front-illuminated FFT CCD area image sensors suit scientific applications such as fluorescence and Raman spectrometry, optical and spectrophotometric analysis, and others that require detection of very low levels of light. The three sensors contain effective pixel sizes of 24 ¥ 24 mm and offer image areas of 12.888 ¥ 1.44 mm (512 ¥ 60 pixels) to 24.576 ¥ 6.048 mm (1024 ¥ 252 pixels). They are available either cooled or uncooled and are compatible with the company`s multichannel detector heads that allow area scanning or full-binning operation. Prices range from $400 to $2800.
