DownloadsDeep Cooling CCD Camera for VUV, EUV & X-Ray Imaging
The ALEX-i series of highly sensitive, cooled cameras with vacuum flange come equipped with ultra-low noise 18-bit readout electronics, making them perfectly suited for imaging applications across the VUV, EUV and X-ray spectrum up to 20 keV. The CCD detectors deliver exceptional dynamic range for both spectra and images. greateyes offers a range of flange types and sensor technologies with QE up to 98%, ensuring the best solution for your application. In addition to the precise measurement of high energy radiation, the detectors exhibit high sensitivity in the ranges NIR, VIS and UV as well.
The greateyes ALEX-i cameras integrate scientific CCD sensors with advanced ultra-low noise electronics to enhance the detection of weak signals. Cooling of the full-frame CCD sensors is achieved through multi-stage Peltier elements. The ALEX-i cameras offer a diverse range of features, including flexible binning operation, multiple trigger and synchronization modes, software-switchable gain, and temperature monitoring of both the sensor and the Peltier hot side.
