The **Newton CCD** series represents a pinnacle of innovation in spectroscopy technology, designed to meet the demands of both scientific research and industrial applications. With a compact width of 27 mm and a remarkable 3 MHz readout speed, this CCD is engineered for precision and efficiency. The Newton CCD is available in configurations that offer either 1024 x 255 active pixels (or 1024 x 256 for the Bx-DD model) and an impressive 2048 x 512-pixel array, allowing for versatile and detailed spectral analysis.

The image area extends up to 27.6 x 6.9 mm, providing ample space for capturing high-resolution data. One of the standout features of the Newton CCD is its exceptional cooling capability, reaching temperatures as low as -100ºC. This extreme cooling is crucial for minimizing dark current and ensuring superior image quality, especially in low-light conditions. The CCD's design incorporates Andor’s Ultravac™ technology, which guarantees sustained vacuum integrity and maintains the device's cooling efficiency and quantum efficiency (QE) performance over time. This makes the Newton CCD a reliable choice for long-term use in demanding environments. The Newton CCD series also excels in its ability to deliver high-speed data acquisition, with a maximum capability of capturing up to 1,612 spectra per second.

This is achieved through intelligent Crop Mode operation, which optimizes the readout process without compromising data quality. The CCD's read noise is impressively low, starting at just 2.5 e-, and the dark current can be reduced to as low as 0.0001 e-/pixel/sec, ensuring that even the faintest signals are detected with precision. Whether used for ultrafast UV, VIS, or NIR spectroscopy, the Newton CCD’s advanced technology and robust performance make it an invaluable tool for applications ranging from 2D chemical mapping to non-invasive medical diagnostics.
