Andor’s 420 high speed CCD’s provide thermoelectric cooling to -100°C, enabling negligible dark current and greatly improved air cooling capabilities.
The Scientific Grade, 1024 x 255 high speed spectroscopy CCD camera is ideally suited to rapid analysis, multi-channel and low-light applications including fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. The 420’s range of Front (Open Electrode) and Back Illuminated and Deep Depletion sensor options provide optimised performance from UV through Visible to Near IR.
Simply select from the 2 cooler types that best suit your needs from the selection below.
DV: Standard cooling, to -75 °C (not a valid option with the BR-DD model) DU: Deep cooling, to -100 °C
The iDus 420A comes with 3 options for sensor types. Please select the sensor which best suits your needs.
BR-DD: Back Illuminated, Deep Depletion CCD with fringe suppression BU: Back illuminated CCD, Vis optimized BU2: Back Illuminated CCD, Blue optimised AR coating for Spectroscopy BV: Back Illuminated CCD, AR coated for optimized performance in the 250 nm region OE: Open Electrode CCD UVB: Back-illuminated CCD with UV coating
Please indicate if you wish to select an alternative window and which software you require.
The 420 OE & BU, BU2, BV models are supplied with an uncoated Quartz window as standard. BR-DD models are provided with an NIR optimised AR coating. The following alternative window choices are available and must be ordered at time of build (if selected):
OPTION-C1-AR1: AR coated quartz window (optimized broadband visible 400-900nm). 50% transmission at 180 nm. OPTION-C1-MGF2: Magnesium Fluoride window for transmission in the VUV. 50% transmission at 120 nm.
The iDus CCD also requires one of the following software options:
Solis for Spectroscopy: A 32-bit application compatible with 32 and 64-bit Windows (XP, Vista, 7) offering rich functionality for data acquisition and processing. AndorBasic provides macro language control of data acquisition, processing, display and export. Andor SDK: Software development kit that allows you to control the Andor range of cameras from your own application. Available as 32 and 64-bit libraries for Windows (XP, Vista and 7) and Linux. Compatible with C/C++, C#, Delphi, VB6, VB.NET, LabVIEW and Matlab.
For compatibility, please indicate which accessories are required.
XW-RECR: Coolant re-circulator for enhanced cooling performance ACC-XW-CHIL-160: Oasis 160 Ultra Compact Chiller Unit P25 Shutter: Prontor 25mm standalone shutter (not integrated into camera) ACC-SD-VDM1000: Shutter Driver for NS25B Bistable Shutter (not needed for Shamrock spectrographs) ACC-SHT-NS25B: Bistable Shutter, Standalone (not needed for Shamrock spectrographs)
Spectrograph Compatibility:
The iDus series is fully compatible with Andor’s Shamrock spectrograph (163 - 750 nm focal lengths) family. Spectrograph mounting flanges and software control are available for a wide variety of 3rd party spectrographs including, McPherson, JY/Horiba, PI/Acton, Chromex/Bruker, Oriel/Newport, Photon Design, Dongwoo, Bentham, Solar TII and others.
