The iStar family at a glance... Andor’s iStar extracts the very best from CCD and scientific CMOS (sCMOS) sensor and image intensifier technologies, achieving a superior combination of rapid acquisitions rates, high sensitivity and fast, accurate gating performance. High time-resolution and timing accuracy • Optical gating < 2 ns - billionth of a second time-resolution for accurate transient phenomena study. • Low jitter, on-board Digital Delay Generator - highest gating timing accuracy with lowest propagation delay. 3 software controlled triggering outputs with 10 ps setup accuracy for...
