Description
The iKon-L HF is a cutting-edge imaging solution designed for high energy detection, offering unparalleled performance in scientific imaging applications. This advanced camera system integrates a high quantum efficiency (QE) sensor, boasting a peak QE of 95%, to ensure exceptional sensitivity and resolution. The camera features a back-illuminated sensor with a single bonded fibre optic plate, optimizing the transmission and spatial resolution for superior optical performance. The unique "Soft Dock" spring-loaded mount guarantees safe and secure installation against delicate instrumentation, further enhancing its usability in sensitive environments.
Engineered for precision and reliability, the iKon-L HF incorporates a thermoelectric cooling system that achieves temperatures as low as -35°C. This cooling capability minimizes dark current and reduces pixel blemishes, making it ideal for long exposure times without the need for liquid nitrogen or compressed gas. The ultra-low noise readout electronics provide a 'silent' system noise, essential for capturing high-quality images with the utmost clarity and detail. The camera's dual output offers flexibility, allowing users to choose between high sensitivity for low-light conditions or high capacity for maximum dynamic range.
The iKon-L HF is designed for seamless integration and operation, featuring USB 2.0 connectivity for easy plug-and-play functionality. Multiple mounting options, including front and side positions, offer versatility in installation, accommodating a wide range of experimental setups. With a large 2048 x 2048 pixel sensor and a pixel size of 13.5 x 13.5 µm, the camera delivers a large field of view and high resolution, ensuring accurate and detailed imaging. The inclusion of a cropped sensor mode allows for continuous imaging with fast temporal resolution, catering to dynamic measurement needs.
