TE-Cooled CCD-Based Spectrometers TE-cooled CCD-based spectrometers from Edmund Optics provide an economical, high-performance spectroscopy solution for a variety of low light level detection and long-term monitoring applications.
The instrument feature 2048 pixels and include a built-in 16-bit digitizer for optimum resolution and maximum flexibility with integration time. The high-speed USB 2.0/1.1 interface provides an easy and convenient means for data collection. The TE cooler reduces the CCD temperature, thus decreasing dark noise, improves dynamic range, and offers long-term operation stability.
A built-in thermoelectric cooler (TEC) cools the CCD array, effectively reducing the dark current, improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and enhancing the dynamic range and low light level detection limit. When the CCD is cooled by 7 C, the dark current is reduced by half, allowing the spectrometer to detect weak optical signals in low light level applications and making it suited for fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy.
The included spectral data acquisition software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000, NT, XP and Vista Home Basic SP2. Featuring an SMA fiber input, the compact units measure 4.25" x 3.75" x 1.65" and weigh 1.2 lbs. UV-Vis, Vis, UV-Vis-NIR, and NIR models are available.
