Cooled CCD camera
PIXIS Princeton Instruments Acton

Based on Princeton Instruments' popular deep-cooled PIXIS platform, these new cameras utilize proprietary eXcelon back-illuminated and deep depletion sensor technology to provide significant improvements in sensitivity and fringe suppression. Available in 1340x100, 1340x400, 1340x1300, 512x512, 1024x1024 and 2048x2048 pixel array formats, these eXcelon-enabled cameras offer superior performance for a variety of applications, including astronomical imaging, Raman spectroscopy, Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) imaging, and solar panel inspection.

Revolutionary research solutions are imaged every day in labs around the world using PI's PIXIS imaging system. This novel design claims all the necessary essentials for tackling demanding applications, making its name synonymous with PI's reputation as a global leader in detection system design.

Well recognized as a no-compromise, next-generation camera platform, the PIXIS is engineered for low-light level spectroscopy and imaging. Whether your application involves Raman spectroscopy in the near-infrared or luminescence imaging in the ultraviolet, the PIXIS contains all the standard features for your research needs and more.

The system now supports the world's first high-resolution, back-illuminated, deep-depletion CCD for no-compromise performance in the NIR region (<1150nm). It also yields a full range of imaging and spectroscopy CCDs, including Princeton Instruments' exclusive 1340x100 and 1340x400 format devices. New Linux drivers are now available for the PIXIS and other PI cameras with USB2.0 interface, as well.
