For Imaging Applications in the UV, VIS, and NIR Range
The ELSE-i UV, VIS, NIR CCD camera by greateyes integrates revolutionary low-noise electronics and ultra-deep cooling technology in a compact camera design. Multiple readout speeds can be selected, supporting pixel rates from 50 kHz up to 5 MHz. Exploit the full dynamic range of the CCD sensor with true 18-bit AD for best performance and SNR. A wide range of sensors are available, allowing you to find the best match for your requirements. ELSE-i is ideally suited for detection of very weak signal intensities where a low-noise floor is of greatest importance.
ELSE-i low noise CCD cameras are available for UV, VIS and NIR applications. ELSE can be used for deep depletion applications.
