Introduction

Based on a unique platform concept, greateyes offers large-area cameras for imaging and spectroscopy applications in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared ranges. The deeply cooled, high-quality CCD camera sensors feature ultra-low noise, optimizing 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 housing with multistage thermoelectric cooling and a single optical window. The cameras provide a rich set of features, such as flexible pixel binning operation, different trigger and synchronization modes, adjustable software baseline, and temperature monitoring of the sensor and cooling system.
