CHARLIE High Performance sCMOS Camera

The CHARLIE camera, a product from greateyes in Berlin, is an advanced scientific camera with a back-illuminated sCMOS sensor. It integrates sophisticated design with inventive features, providing unprecedented opportunities for the measurements of tomorrow. Built upon our decades of experience in ultra high vacuum (UHV), CHARLIE is specially designed for a broad range of measurements in the EUV, VUV, and X-ray range.

Key Performance Features:

  • High Resolution: It offers a high resolution of up to 16.8 Megapixels.
  • Sensitivity: The camera delivers peak Quantum Efficiency and features single photon sensitivity. High QE is up to 99%.
  • Cooling and Noise: With low-noise electronics and deep cooling, the camera ensures very low dark current for better detection limits and lowest noise. It can cool down to -50°C
  • Frame Rates: It supports High Frame Rates, up to 48 fps (full frame).
  • Dynamic Range: It provides a high full well capacity and high dynamic range, offering both 12-bit SDR and 16-bit HDR modes.
  • Design & Interface: CHARLIE features a Compact Design, offers a 10GigE & USB 3.0 data interface for local or remote network operation, and has flexible software options including the greateyes Vision software and various SDKs and drivers.

greateyes Vision Software

The greateyes Vision software is a powerful application for controlling the CHARLIE camera and managing experimental data, running on 32/64-bit Windows systems. It offers flexible readout control, including crop and burst modes with fully flexible horizontal and vertical binning, which enables higher frame rates and precise time resolution. The software provides comprehensive visualization and image manipulation, supports multiple file formats, and features both wavelength and geometric calibration for accurate results. For integration into other systems, various SDKs and drivers (e.g., LabVIEW, Python, Linux) are available, along with TTL interface signals for external triggering and synchronization. The greateyes Vision software is available with language support for English, Chinese, and German.
