IMAGE SENSOR CCD multichannel detector head C00, C0 Designed for back-thinned CCD area image sensor C00 and C0 are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned FFT-CCD area image sensors (S00/S0 series) that offer high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency. C00 is designed for the non-cooled back-thinned CCD image sensor (S00 series), while C0 for the one-stage TE-cooled CCD area image sensors (S0 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both C00 and C0 incorporate a low-noise driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. C0 also includes a highly stable temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts= -0 C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes internal circuitry to overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler. Despite its compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow connections to other devices such as monochrometers. The table below shows back-thinned CCD image sensors for C00 and C0. C00 and C0 do not come with a CCD image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately. Controller for multichannel detector head C-0 is also available. The software supplied with the C-0 allows easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition.

S0-0 0 0 0..000 S0-0 0 0 0..0 *: In normal CCD image sensors that receive light from the front surface, the active area is covered with electrodes for charge transfer. These electrodes cut off UV radiation incident on the image sensor and also reduce the quantum efficiency. In contrast, backthinned CCD image sensors have a unique structure in which the back of the active area is finely ground to allow light to enter from the back surface. This structure ensures high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency because incident light need not pass through the electrodes. *: The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it can be operated like a linear image sensor having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as line binning).
