Full Frame X-ray CCD camera
The X-ray Image Star camera range consists of a large area full frame CCD sensor coupled to large area tapered fibre optic up to 190mm diameter.
The large area high quantum efficiency CCD sensor enables low demagnification taper and optimum sensitivity for flux hungry applications such as in small molecule and protein crystallography.
Genuine 16 bit dynamic range is achieved with read out cycle of 2.5 to 3.5 seconds depending on binning. The camera will be offered with fast X-ray shuttering function.
Air or water cooling can be chosen at the time of order depending on experimental set up / noise requirements. The camera can be tiled for extending geometry up to 232 x 116 mm for large area coverage up to 270 x 270mm for the largest format available.
The camera will achieve near single photon counting sensitivity when a 1:1 coupling and binning are used, this is particularly useful for SAXS / WAXS as well as other low energy application requiring in vacuum operation.
