PIXIS cameras are fully integrated, low-noise CCD cameras with deep cooling for quantitative scientific imaging and spectroscopy applications from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near infrared (NIR). High-quantum efficiency and ultra-low-noise electronics make PIXIS cameras ideal for demanding low-light applications. Choose front-illuminated, back-illuminated, eXcelon or back-illuminated deep depletion versions for optimized performance. Low noise electronics provide the best performance for low-level light detection

PIXIS – High-Performance, Low Noise CCD Cameras
Broad Range Sensitivity
The PIXIS offers the broadest wavelength coverage, from 120–1100 nm, for the widest variety of applications. With >95% quantum efficiency (QE) with selected CCDS, high QE in UV with UV enhanced CCD and enhanced sensitivity and reduced etaloning with eXcelon™ technology.
Unique Vacuum Technology
The PIXIS offers deep cooling to -90°C with air or liquid, providing ultra-low dark current for long exposure times. The single input window delivers maximum sensitivity with maintenance-free operation.
Enhanced Sensitivity With eXcelon™
eXcelon technology enhances the sensitivity of the PIXIS, delivering higher quantum efficiency and reduced etaloning.
