4 Megapixel, High Frame Rate sCMOS Camera: CHARLIE
✨ Key Highlights
- Back‑illuminated sCMOS sensor with exceptional quantum efficiency up to 99%, enabling single‑photon sensitivity in EUV, VUV, and X-ray applications
- High spatial resolution: up to 16.8 MP (2 k × 2 k, 11 µm pixels) for precise imaging and spectroscopy
- Fast frame rates: up to 48 fps at full resolution, providing high-speed data capture
- Deep sensor cooling to –50 °C, dramatically reducing dark current and read noise for improved detection limits
- 12-bit SDR and 16-bit HDR modes for high‑dynamic‑range imaging across a wide range of intensities
- Low-noise electronics and high full-well capacity, delivering excellent dynamic range with linearity better than 99%
- GigE & USB 3.0 interfaces for flexible, high-speed connectivity in both local and networked systems .
- Compact and modular design with various rotatable flange options suited for ultra-high vacuum systems (UHV-compatible to 10⁻⁹ mbar)
- Versatile software ecosystem: includes greateyes Vision (Windows 10/11), plus SDKs for Windows, Linux, Python, LabVIEW, EPICS, Tango, µManager, and TTL triggers/support
