Features & Benefits:

Open front end – 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).
1024 x 255 and 2048 x 512 sensor options – Choice of high acquisition speed and dynamic range or high resolution.
26 x 26 and 13.5 x 13.5 µm pixel size options – Ideal balance of dynamic range and resolution.
Peak QE up to 95% – 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 to -100°C – Efficiently minimizes dark current noise for acquisitions requiring longer sensor exposure time, obtain better signal-to-noise ratios faster.
Low noise readout down to 2.5 e- – Intelligent low-noise electronics offer the most ‘silent’ system noise.
Up to 5 MHz pixel readout speed (3 MHz for 940 model) – Slow readout for low noise and best SNR performance, faster speed for studying dynamic processes.
Cropped sensor mode – Specialized acquisition mode for continuous imaging with fast temporal resolution, spectral rates up to 1,600 sps.
USB 2.0 interface – Built-in robust plug and play interface as standard.
Enhanced baseline clamp – Slower readout for lowest noise, faster speeds for more rapid readout and focusing
Software Development Kit (SDK) – Ease of control integration into complex setups: Matlab, Labview, Visual Basic, C/C++ or Linux.
Integrated in EPICS – Seamless integration and operation at EPICS-based particle accelerators.
Filter and filter holders options – Accommodate beryllium (or aluminium) windows with thickness down to 200 µm for removal of unwanted lower energy radiations.
Open-front to standalone converter options – Provides maximum flexibility – camera can attach directly to a vacuum chamber, or be used as standalone with a beryllium filter.
