Full-Frame Deep Cooling In-Vacuum Scientific CCD Camera
Straight out of Berlin comes LOTTE, greateyes’ new platform for your in-vacuum applications in the VUV, EUV, soft and hard X-Ray range. LOTTE integrates cutting-edge low-noise electronics, ultra-deep cooling technology, and encapsulated design with industry lowest outgassing rate. Multiple readout speeds can be selected from 50 kHz up to 5 MHz. True 18-bit AD conversion allows to exploit the full dynamic range of the CCD sensor for highest performance and SNR. LOTTE is ideally suited for detection of very weak signal intensities where a low-noise floor is paramount. LOTTE offers unprecedented possibilities for your measurements of tomorrow.
