Product catalog summary
Overview: Photonic Science Ltd (PSL) has been providing cooled Very High Resolution (VHR) CCD cameras for over five years, catering to both end users and OEMs. These cameras are designed for high responsitivity and low noise, ensuring optimal photonic collection and superior signal-to-noise ratio. A unique feature is the 'read whilst expose' mode, which allows for a 100% shutterless duty cycle, enhancing sensitivity in low light conditions.
Applications: The cameras are versatile and can be used in various fields such as fluorescence imaging, particle image velocimetry (PIV), spray imaging, confocal microscopy, chemiluminescence, spectroscopy, single molecule imaging, cell motility recording, solar panel characterization, electron microscopy, biochip reading, and laser-induced fluorescence.
Specifications:
  • CCD Sensors: Premium grade with small pixel size (<10 microns), cooled to 55°C delta T, and a 20MHz scanning frequency.
  • Sensor Size: Large area sensors with a 43.3 mm diagonal.
  • Input Windows: Options include quartz, glass, or fiber optic.
  • Noise Characteristics: Low readout noise (<15 electrons) and very low dark current (<0.05 electron per pixel per second).
  • Acquisition: Simultaneous integration/readout for 100% duty cycle, dual tap readout for fast acquisition, and on-chip binning.
  • Interface: Camera link and GigE digital interface with synchronization via TTL pulse or pixel clock.
  • Cooling Options: Air-cooled or water-cooled with Peltier/fan cut-off option.
11 Megapixel CCD Camera:
  • Resolution: 4008 (h) x 2672 (v) with 9 x 9 microns pixel size.
  • Performance: 1.8 fps at full resolution, 5 fps in binning 4x4.
  • Noise and Capacity: Readout noise of 14-18 electrons, full well capacity of 45,000 electrons (1x1 binning).
  • Digitization: 12-bit with 16-bit extended dynamic range.
16 Megapixel CCD Camera:
  • Resolution: 4872 (h) x 3248 (v) with 7.4 x 7.4 microns pixel size.
  • Performance: 1.1 fps at full resolution, 3 fps in binning 4x4.
  • Noise and Capacity: Readout noise of 12-16 electrons, full well capacity of 25,000 electrons.
  • Digitization: 12-bit with 16-bit extended dynamic range.
