INTRODUCING IKON-M & -L SO High Resolution, High Sensitivity and High Dynamic Range ‘Direct’ Detection Andor’s iKon series offers outstanding sensitivity performance through a combination of > 95% QE back-illuminated sensors, low noise readout electronics and industry-leading, maintenance-free deep TE-cooling down to -100°C. It features high resolution 1 and 4.2 Megapixel large area sensor options (with 13 and 13.5 µm pixels respectively) for simultaneous high dynamic range and high spatial resolution imaging in the VUV and soft x-ray range. A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6”...

FEATURES & BENEFITS Feature DN100CF / 6” CF / CF-152 flange and knife-edge sealing provided as standard for direct interfacing to vacuum chambers (rotatable design for iKon-M models). Choice of acquisition speed or large field-of-view to best match experimental needs. 13 x 13 and 13.5 x 13.5 µm pixel size options Ideal balance of dynamic range and resolution, on-head binning to extend dynamic range. High photon collection efficiency for maximising signal-to-noise ratios. ‘Enhanced’ process back-illuminated sensor options for increased QE in the soft x-ray range. Thermo-electric cooling down...

Typical Set-up Vacuum Chamber Photoelectrons vs Incident X-rays Flange e.g. CF203 Photoelectrons per detected X-ray iKon-M/L-SO CCD Power Supply (iKon-L only) Power Supply Power Supply Cable Best Practice Guidelines Condensation • It is strongly advised that the camera should not be used in a condensing atmosphere. • If used in a condensing atmosphere the sensor MUST be protected and the use of a cold finger is strongly recommended. Contamination & Damage • When not in use, the sensor chamber should be covered and sealed. • Due to the exposed nature of the sensor, extreme care should be...
