Open front end - DN100CF / 6” CF / CF-152 flange and knife-edge sealing provided as standard for direct interfacing to vacuum chambers (rotatable design for iKon-M models).
1 MP and 4.2 MP sensor options - Choice of acquisition speed or large field-of-view to best match experimental needs.
13.5 x 13.5 µm pixel size - Ideal balance of dynamic range and resolution, on-head binning to extend dynamic range.
Peak QE of 95% - High photon collection efficiency for maximising signal-to-noise ratios. ‘Enhanced’ process back-illuminated sensor options for increased QE in the soft x-ray range.
Thermo-electric cooling down to -100°C - Efficiently minimizes dark current noise for acquisitions requiring longer sensor exposure time, obtain better signal-to-noise ratios faster.
Low noise readout down to 2.9 e- - Intelligent low-noise electronics offer the most ‘silent’ system noise.
Up to 5 MHz pixel readout speed - Slow readout for low noise and best SNR performance, faster speed for studying dynamic processes and 5 MHz focusing mode.
USB 2.0 interface - Built-in robust plug and play interface as standard.
Cropped sensor mode - Tracking stability to ensure all readout circuits experience same temperature and operating conditions.
Enhanced Baseline Clamp - Slower readout for lowest noise, faster speeds for more rapid readout and focusing.
Windows, Linux & Labview - Andor’s user-friendly SDK supports both Windows and Linux OS. LabView VI package available.
Integrated in EPICS - Seamless integration and operation at EPICS-based particle accelerators.
Filter and filter holders options - Accommodate beryllium (or aluminium) windows with thickness down to 200 ?m for removal of unwanted lower energy radiations (< 2 keV). Ø45.5 mm supported for iKon-M and Ø60 mm for iKon-L.
Open-front to standalone converter options - Provides maximum flexibility – camera can attach directly to a vacuum chamber, or be used as standalone with a beryllium filter.
