The Newton 920 spectroscopic CCD camera series integrates a 1024 x 256 pixels array with 26 µm pixels for highest dynamic range, high Quantum Efficiency and ultra-low noise floor to provide highest signal to noise and best detection performance for a wide range of photon fluxes.
This high-end USB2.0 Newton CCD series brings together Andor’s ultra fast, low noise electronics platform and market-leading deep thermo-electric cooling to -100°C, complemented by Andor’s Ultravac™ technology with its un-matched reliability track record in the scientific and industrial community.
Broadband detection rates of up to 1,600 spectra per second are enabled with intelligent Crop Mode operation. The Newton CCD is an ideal tool for ultrafast UV, VIS or NIR spectroscopy (or all the above with the Dual AR-coating BEX2-DD technology!), covering applications such as fast material characterisation, chemical & catalysis, online process monitoring, non-invasive medical diagnosis and spectroscopy techniques including Raman, Fluorescence/Photoluminescence, Non-Linear spectroscopies.
The Newton 940 series offers 13.5 x 13.5 μm pixels for the highest UV to VIS resolution spectroscopy, while the 920 series and its 26 x 26 μm offers the highest dynamic range for UV to NIR applications. Both > 6.6 mm high sensors are ideally suited for multi-track spectroscopy.
Peak QE up to 95% - Visible-optimized ‘BV/BVF’, infrared-optimized ‘BR-DD’ and broadband UV-NIR ‘BEX2-DD’ model
Fringe suppression technology as standard - Fringing greatly reduced (Deep-Depletion) or minimized (Back-Thinned ‘BVF’)
Extended range dual-AR option - Superior UV-NIR broadband QE
TE cooling to -100°C - Critical for elimination of dark current detection limit - no inconvenience associated with LN2
UltraVac™ - Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year-after-year
Multi-Megahertz Readout - High repetition rates achievable with low noise electronics
Crop Mode Operation - Up to 1,600 spectra per second rates
