iKon-M Cooled back illuminated CCD cameras

Andor’s iKon-M 912 Cooled Back Illuminated CCD cameras are designed to offer the ultimate in back-illuminated, low noise performance, ideal for demanding imaging applications.

The 512 x 512 CCD array with 24 μm pixels has been optimized for the best resolution and dynamic range. It boasts 95% QEmax and exceptionally low readout noise. The iKon-M 912 Cooled Back Illuminated CCD cameras benefit from negligible darkcurrent with industry-leading thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C, enabling use of significantly longer exposure times than offered by any other camera on the market using this same sensor. The iKon-M Cooled Back Illuminated CCD platform offers Multi-Megahertz readout for more rapid acquisition or fast focusing, along with direct USB 2.0 connectivity to PC.
