Low-light detection

Hamamatsu Photonics introduces the successor to the ORCA II range. The latest ORCA II is designed to push the limits in ultra-low light detection and comes with a 1M pixel back-thinned CCD, cooled down to -90°C and programmable trigger signal output.

This restricts dark current to 0.0012 electrons/pixel/seconds and provides very high quantum efficiency (QE) across the broad spectrum of 200 nm to 900 nm with a peak QE >90%.

These key features, together with extremely long exposure times (of up to 120 minutes), allows for the detection of even the faintest light.

The camera is also supplied with programmable trigger signal outputs to guarantee precise measurement control and data capture.

The camera is ideal for applications including luminescence and low level fluorescence imaging, high resolution microscopy or semiconductor imaging, as well as X-ray applications, neutron radiography or scintillator readout.
