Soft x-ray

Feature Benefits


Up to 5 MHz readout	Fast readout for multiple exposures
16-bit digitization	Provides maximum dynamic range - Read out speed can be adjusted to extend dynamic range (slow) or focusing (fast)
Back-illuminated CCD	Best response for soft x-ray
1024 x 1024 imaging array with 13 x 13 -mm pixels	Scientific grade CCD with 100% fill factor-offering high spatial resolution
Binning	Flexible binning increases read out rate and dynamic resolution
Adjustable gains	Can adjust for low noise or high signal to noise ratio
CCD can be optimized for specific wavelengths	Allows tailor made systems to fit specific applications and experiments
Thermoelectric cooling	Can cool the CCD to –70C with simple and maintenance free TEC cooling with optional water chiller
PCI Interface with fiber optic connection	Industry standard for fast reliable data transfer - Fiber optic adds flexibility
16-bit digitization	Allows for 30,000:1 dynamic range
Thermoelectric or cryogenic with C-series	Provides deep cooling - Cryogenic options allow for long exposures (hours)
Wave Metrics “IGOR” or Digital Optics “V++” Software	Powerful analysis software that can be tailor made to meet your needs
Windows XP, Linux and Unix compatible	Increased system utility
Conflat vacuum interface	Industry standard and can be designed to fit your existing equipment
Customizeable	The right system for you
