Introduction

Based on a unique platform concept, greateyes offers approximately 20 camera series for imaging and spectroscopy applications in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared ranges. Deep cooling and high-quality CCD detectors enable minimized integration. High-sensitivity sensing and ultra-low-noise electronics optimize the detection of weak signals. Different pixel modes, sensor technologies, and sensor coatings are employed to optimize imaging or spectroscopy applications.

Full-frame CCD sensors are integrated in a vacuum-tight chamber with multistage semiconductor cooling and a single optical window. The cameras provide a rich set of features, such as flexible pixel binning operation, various trigger and synchronization modes, adjustable software baseline, and temperature monitoring of the sensor and cooling system.
