Edmund Optics TE Cooled CCD Based Spectrometers
|
Edmund Optics® (EO), provider of optical components, introduces their new TE Cooled CCD Based Spectrometers. They provide a low cost, high performance Spectroscopy solution for a wide variety of low light level detection and long term monitoring applications.
High stability and low dark noise
Edmund Optics’ TE Cooled CCD Based Spectrometers are equipped with an
impressive 2048 pixels and include a built-in 16-bit digitizer for optimum
resolution and maximum flexibility with integration time. The high speed USB
2.0/1.1 interface provides an easy and convenient way for data collection.
The TE Cooler reduces the CCD temperature thus decreases its dark noise, improves
dynamic range and offers excellent long-term operation stability.
Detection of weak optical signals in low light applications
CCD array is cooled using built-in Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC). This is an
effective way to reduce dark current, which improves signal to noise ratio.
This also enhances the dynamic range and low light level detection limit.
Typically, when a CCD is cooled by 7ºC, the dark current is reduced to
half. This reduction allows the spectrometer detect weak optical signals in
low light level applications – ideal for fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.
Spectral data software included
Edmund Optics’ TE Cooled CCD Based Spectrometers include intuitive Spectral
Data Acquisition Software, which is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000,
NT, XP and Vista Home Basic SP2. Featuring an SMA fiber input, the compact
units measure only 4.25” x 3.75” x 1.65” and weigh a mere
1.2 lbs. The Spectrometers are available in UV-VIS, VIS, UV-VIS-NIR and NIR
models, offering solutions for every scenario.
Edmund Optics’ TE Cooled CCD Based Spectrometers are in stock.
