- Titlee2v introduces new megapixel CCD201 at VISION 2005 [German Version]
- Date07 November 2005
e2v technologies introduces at VISION 2005 the new CCD201 – an innovative megapixel Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensor designed for low light, scientific applications. This new product adds a new level of low light imaging capability to e2v’s world leading L3Vision™ sensor portfolio. Visit e2v technologies on Stand 4.0.324 for further information.
e2v’s new CCD201 is a large format 1kx1k, 13µm pixel image sensor designed for low light, high resolution scientific applications. Soon to be commercially available, the sensor will be one of the most sensitive image sensors the world has ever seen! With QE peaking at 95% and minimal induced noise, the device is likely to prove the ultimate tool for high resolution, low light science imaging. The CCD201 will be ideally suited to bio-science applications, such as drug discovery, bio-luminescence and fluorescence microscopy. The frame transfer device will also find areas of application within the astronomy sector.
The CCD201 builds upon e2v’s existing high performance L3Vision™ CCD product suite. It therefore offers all of the benefits of a solid-state sensor, plus outstanding low light capability in a megapixel sensor. It will be available in front- and back-illuminated formats, both of which offer sub-electron noise and a choice of electron-multiplying or traditional output. Each is capable of operating at an equivalent output noise of less than one electron at pixel rates of over 15 MHz.
Cliff Weatherup, e2v’s L3Vision™ Programme Manager, comments: “The combination of silicon area, high QE and high resolution make this an outstandingly capable device which will push the boundaries of low light imaging to the next level. We look forward to working with our global partners to integrate this new sensor into their future systems.”
Other products in the L3Vision™ range include the CCD60, the CCD65 and the CCD97. e2v also offers an L3C95 EMCCD camera for 24/7 surveillance with a very stable ALC, offering a much improved overload response and an adaptive gamma that enhance day and night imagery.
