Description
Newton 920 Spectroscopy at Pace
This high-end USB2.0 Newton CCD series brings together Andor’s ultra fast, low noise electronics platform and market-leading deep thermo-electric cooling to -100°C, complemented by Andor’s Ultravac™ technology with its un-matched reliability track record in the scientific and industrial community.
Broadband detection rates of up to 1,600 spectra per second are enabled with intelligent Crop Mode operation. The Newton CCD is an ideal tool for ultrafast UV, VIS or NIR spectroscopy (or all the above with the Dual AR-coating BEX2-DD technology!), covering applications such as fast material characterisation, chemical & catalysis, online process monitoring, non-invasive medical diagnosis and spectroscopy techniques including Raman, Fluorescence/Photoluminescence, Non-Linear spectroscopies.
The Newton 940 series offers 13.5 x 13.5 μm pixels for the highest UV to VIS resolution spectroscopy, while the 920 series and its 26 x 26 μm offers the highest dynamic range for UV to NIR applications. Both > 6.6 mm high sensors are ideally suited for multi-track spectroscopy.
