Description
ALEX is greateyes’ new platform for your spectroscopy and imaging applications in the VUV, EUV, soft and hard X-Ray range. ALEX integrates cutting-edge low-noise electronics and ultra-deep cooling technology while keeping a compact camera design. Multiple readout speeds can be selected supporting pixel rates 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. Choose from a wide range of sensors to find the best match with your requirements. ALEX is ideally suited for detection of very weak signal intensities where a low-noise floor is paramount. ALEX offers unprecedented possibilities for your measurements of tomorrow.
Features and Benefits:
- Ultra deep TE cooling to -100 °C: lowest dark current for better detection limit
- High QE up to 98%: very sensitive sensors for low light applications
- Ultra High vacuum compatibility
- User selectable gain: balance your detector for best SNR and dynamic range
- GigE & USB 3.0 data interface: local or remote network operation – your choice!
- Fast readout speeds up to 5 MHz: fast frame rates paired with low-noise electronics
- Flexible software options: camera software and SDKs available
Models:
