PIXIS 2K

Model: PIX-2K
product image

PIXIS cameras are fully integrated, low-noise CCD cameras with deep cooling for quantitative scientific imaging and spectroscopy applications from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near infrared (NIR). High-quantum efficiency and ultra-low-noise electronics make PIXIS cameras ideal for demanding low-light applications. Choose front-illuminated, back-illuminated, eXcelon or back-illuminated deep depletion versions for optimized performance. Low noise electronics provide the best performance for low-level light detection

PIXIS – High-Performance, Low Noise CCD Cameras

PIXIS cameras are fully integrated, low-noise cameras with deep cooling for quantitative scientific imaging and spectroscopy from UV-NIR. High-quantum efficiency and ultra-low-noise electronics make PIXIS cameras ideal for demanding low-light applications.

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°C 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.
