CCD Array

The PIXIS camera system offers both front- and back-illuminated 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. Teledyne Princeton
Instruments has developed exclusive CCDs with unmatched quantum efficiency and
low noise to offer the utmost in sensitivity. Large full wells, square pixels, and 100% fill
factors provide high dynamic range and excellent spatial resolution. Unichrome
(exclusive Teledyne Princeton Instruments technology) and other UV-enhancement
coatings can be used to further improve the quantum efficiency of these CCDs in the
ultraviolet. Your choice of CCD is already installed in the camera that you received and
has been individually tested.
