Description

Details

ALEX for Spectroscopy

High resolution up to 16.8 Megapixel

ALEXs integrates cutting-edge low-noise electronics and ultra-deep cooling technology while keeping a compact camera design. Multiple readout speeds can be selected supporting pixel rates from 50 kHz up to 5 MHz.

True 18-bit AD conversion allows to exploit the full dynamic range of the CCD sensor for highest performance and SNR. ALEXs is ideally suited for detection of very weak signal intensities where a low-noise floor is paramount.

ALEXs offers unprecedented possibilities for your measurements of tomorrow.
