Features and applications of the HS 101H camera
Distinctive features of the digital camera HS 101H
- Embedded PC with 128 MB of RAM, allowing a series of measurements without transferring data to the control PC;
- High-speed interface – 10/100 Ethernet connection;
- Thermo-electric (Peltier) cooling of the CCD sensor, ability to connect a water chiller to achieve a lower sensor T;
- Quantum efficiency ~ 95% at maximum sensitivity;
- Pixel size 12 × 12 microns for the best spectral resolution;
- The possibility of hardware binning for the “large pixel” or “CCD ruler” mode;
- Reading speed up to 500 kHz.
Applications of the HS 101H camera
- Raman and luminescence spectroscopy;
- Precision measurements of transmission/reflection;
- Measurement of spectral parameters of plasma;
- Spectroscopy of optical signals of low intensity;
- Multichannel spectroscopy: up to 30 independent channels on one sensor.
