System Components
Standard Components
A typical air-cooled PhotonMAX system consists of the camera, a power supply with
power cable, a PCI card for your computer, a data cable, an I/O cable, and the user
manual. A typical liquid-cooled system consists of the camera, a coolant circulator with
hoses, a PCI card for your computer, a data cable, power cable, an I/O cable, and the
user manual.
Optional System Components
Optional items include the WinView/WinSpec application software and manual,
Scientific Imaging ToolKit™ (SITK™) for LabVIEW
cables, and C-mount adapters.
PhotonMAX Camera
CCD Array: The PhotonMAX camera system offers CCDs in a variety of array sizes
that allow you to precisely match the sensor to your application. Only scientific-grade
devices are used in order to ensure the highest image fidelity, resolution, and acquisition
flexibility required for scientific imaging. Large full wells, square pixels, and 100% fill
factors provide high dynamic range and excellent spatial resolution. Unichrome
(exclusive Princeton Instruments technology) and other UV-enhancement coatings can be
used to further improve the quantum efficiency of these CCDs in the ultraviolet.
