Appendix A Basic Specifications; Window; Ccd Arrays - Princeton Instruments ProEM+ EMCCD User Manual

Basic Specifications
Note: This appendix provides some of the basic specifications of a ProEM+ system. If
the information you are looking for is not here, it may be available in Appendix B,
"Outline Drawings" or on the appropriate data sheet. Data sheets can be downloaded
from the Princeton Instruments website (www.princetoninstruments.com).

Window

UV grade fused-silica (.125"/ 3.18 mm thick). Princeton Instruments offers a choice of
multi-layer VIS-AR, UV-AR, and NIR-AR coating options on the vacuum window. For
enhanced sensitivity in the UV region, proprietary Unichrome
available. For broadband applications, a choice of MgFl
available upon request.
