Overview

PIXIS

PIXIS cameras are fully integrated, low-noise cameras with deep cooling for quantitative scientific imaging and spectroscopy from UV-NIR.

  • ~120-1100 nm sensitivity
  • -90℃ deep cooling
  • Support for CCDs of varying sizes
  • Flexible readout design

Key Features

Broad Range Sensitivity

The PIXIS offers the broadest wavelength coverage, from ~120 – 1100 nm, for the widest variety of applications.

With >95% quantum efficiency (QE) with selected CCDS, high QE in UV with UV enhanced CCD and enhanced sensitivity and reduced etaloning with eXcelon™ technology.

Unique Vacuum Technology

The PIXIS offers deep cooling to -90℃ with air or liquid, providing ultra-low dark current for long exposure times.

The single input window delivers maximum sensitivity with maintenance-free operation.

Enhanced Sensitivity With eXcelon™

eXcelon™ technology enhances the sensitivity of the PIXIS, delivering higher quantum efficiency and reduced etaloning.

Ultimate Flexibility

Dual-amplifier readout design allows for optimization of system performance. The high sensitivity amplifier reduces read noise for weak signals, and the high capacity amplifier offering increased effective dynamic range.
