iKon-M 934 Low Noise CCD Camera Series

These high resolution 1024 x 1024 CCD cameras boast up to 95% QEmax, high dynamic range, 13 μm pixels and exceptionally low readout noise. The iKon-M 934 low noise CCD camera benefits from negligible dark current with industry-leading thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C. 

The BR-DD ‘Deep Depletion’ sensor option offers ultimate performance for NIR applications, delivering > 90% QE beyond 800 nm and incorporating Fringe Suppression Technology™ to minimize etaloning effects. Rapid vertical shifts combined with fast kinetics acquisition mode, comprehensive trigger modes and custom coated wedge window render the BR-DD model an ideal solution for NIR optimized Bose Einstein Condensation applications.
