Physical Science Research Solutions and Instruments

Low Light Imaging Cameras

Andor’s broad portfolio of high-performance imaging cameras are suited to a wide variety of applications across physical sciences and astronomy, from imaging distant galaxies to sub-atomic studies.

• With the single photon sensitive iXon Ultra EMCCD series, Andor have delivered a market-leading, truly high-end yet accessible scientific camera platform, designed specifically to drive the absolute best from ultra-sensitive EMCCD technology across all critical performance specs and parameters.
• Andor's sCMOS cameras deliver a broad gamut of application advantages, the multi-megapixel cameras combining a large field of view and high resolution with low noise, wide dynamic range and fast frame rates.
• The iKon 'slow scan' CCD cameras deliver thermoelectric cooling to -100°C for industry-leading low noise performance with low light applications that demand longer exposure times. Highly efficient photon collection across a broad spectral range combines with very large field of view solutions.
• Cameras for Astronomy – From faster time resolution sCMOS and EMCCD detectors to slow scan CCDs, including very large area sensor solutions for maximum sky coverage . Andor’s unparalleled commitment to superb quality, vacuum innovation and ease of maintenance is instilled throughout the portfolio, intended to maximize your observing time and to minimize cost of ownership.

Intensified Gated Cameras

Andor’s range of iStar camera series extracts the best from intensified CCD & sCMOS technologies, offering time-resolved detection capability with shuttering down to <2 nanoseconds, adaptable to both imaging and spectroscopy applications. Fiber-coupling to the image intensifiers provides maximum signal collection efficiency.

• iStar sCMOS 5.5 megapixel camera combines < 2ns gating with high frame rate and high dynamic range, ideal for plasma studies, flow analysis, combustion/PLIF imaging, quantum entanglement ‘ghost imaging’ and stand-off chemical detection.
• Andor’s iStar CCD series offer dedicated solutions for spectroscopy and imaging challenges, ideal for transient spectroscopy (e.g. Raman or absorption photophysics), LIBS materials characterisation and plasma studies.
• Ultrafast Gating and Synchronization - true optical gating < 2 ns for accurate transient phenomena study and IntelligateTM MCP gating for increased shuttering efficiency in the UV combine with a comprehensive on-board Digital Delay Generator (DDG™).
