Cooled CCDs
A series of thermoelectrically cooled CCD detectors uses low-noise chips to provide high sensitivity, low noise, and low dark currents typically of less than 3 electrons/pixel/h. The STE-CCD is well suited to multichannel spectroscopy. The device is available with a range of CCD sensors in 1.25-, 1-, and 1/2-in. formats with front-illuminated, back-thinned, and UV-overcoated options. The detectors come with a camera controller and Windows-based operating software.
