Description
The iDus 401 Series is a sophisticated spectroscopy CCD platform designed for precision and reliability in various scientific and industrial applications. With a compact design measuring 26.6 x 3.3 mm and featuring a 1024 x 127 pixel array, this series is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding environments. The iDus 401 Series is ideal for applications such as low-light UV/NIR photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy, making it a versatile choice for both routine laboratory operations and complex industry-grade systems.
One of the standout features of the iDus 401 Series is its market-leading deep thermo-electric cooling capability, reaching temperatures as low as -100°C. This is crucial for minimizing dark current and enhancing detection limits without the inconvenience of liquid nitrogen cooling. Complemented by Andor’s proprietary Ultravac™ technology, the iDus 401 Series ensures sustained vacuum integrity, maintaining unparalleled cooling and quantum efficiency performance over time. This reliability is backed by a strong track record within the scientific and industrial communities.
The iDus 401 Series is equipped with advanced low-noise electronics that provide access to superior signal-to-noise ratio performance across a wide range of photon detection regimes. The inclusion of anti-fringing technology as a standard feature on back-illuminated sensors further enhances its capability, particularly for high dynamic range and high-resolution acquisitions from the far UV to NIR spectrum. With its robust design and cutting-edge technology, the iDus 401 Series stands as a leading choice for researchers and professionals seeking precision and efficiency in spectroscopy.
