Description
The iStar 320T Series by Andor is a groundbreaking platform designed to revolutionize the field of high-speed, nanosecond-scale time-resolved spectroscopy. This intensified CCD camera series is meticulously engineered to deliver an unparalleled integrated detection solution, offering high-resolution capabilities that are crucial for advanced scientific research. The camera's 4:1 aspect ratio is perfectly optimized for compatibility with Andor’s Shamrock Czerny-Turner spectrograph series and its associated accessories, ensuring seamless integration and outstanding performance.
One of the standout features of the iStar 320T Series is its Multi-MHz readout capability, which allows for the acquisition of over 322 spectra per second, and even surpasses 2,900 spectra per second in Crop Mode. This remarkable speed is complemented by its user-friendly USB 2.0 connectivity, making it highly portable and convenient for use with laptops. The camera also features a fully integrated, software-controlled Digital Delay Generator (DDG™), providing a simple and efficient way to manage complex experiments. With this feature, users can effortlessly control timing and gain through a single interactive interface, streamlining the experimental process.
The iStar 320T Series is equipped with Gen 2 and Gen 3 image intensifiers, offering a range of entrance input window and phosphor options to accommodate various wavelength requirements from 120 nm to 1,100 nm. The camera supports minimum gating speeds of less than 2 ns, ensuring precise temporal resolution. The effective active area of the CCD is available in two sizes, 18 x 6.7 mm and 25 x 6.7 mm, with active pixel configurations of 690 x 255 and 960 x 255, respectively. This flexibility allows the iStar 320T Series to cater to a wide range of scientific applications, making it an indispensable tool for researchers and scientists.
