Description
Newton SO – High Energy Detection – Direct Detection Spectroscopy
Andor’s Newton series offers outstanding sensitivity performance through a combination of > 95% QE back-illuminated sensors, low noise readout electronics and industry-leading, maintenance-free deep TE-cooling down to -100°C. It features a 1024 x 255 (26 µm pixel) and a 2048 x 512 (13.5 µm pixel) matrix options optimised for high dynamic range & high speed and high spatial resolution Spectroscopy in the VUV and soft x-ray range.
A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6” rotatable CF-152 flange provides a robust and highly-effective seal to any compatible vacuum chamber interface. The Newton SO platform also offers a USB2 interface and Labview or EPICS compatibility for seamless integration into complex setups.
