Oriel has introduced the Instaspec ISX CCD and Instaspec ISX IR scientific cameras, which are suited for scanning applications in the infrared, such as spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
The cameras are available with new Instaspec Pro software, which provides complete system control of single- or dual-camera configurations and all the functions of any Oriel spectrograph.
The output from one or two cameras can be joined via Oriel's 'stitch and glue' function to provide a single graphic display output of the acquired spectrum.
The data format permits easy export to other packages for additional or enhanced post-processing tasks.
The Instaspec Pro software features auto-calibration for the spectrograph and the installed cameras, plus extensive integrated pop-up help to facilitate setup.
The Instaspec ISX CCD camera features a back-illuminated CCD sensor with a 1,024 x 122 pixel array (24 x 24um pixel size).
This camera is designed for operation in the 200-1,100nm spectral range, making it ideal for spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), emission, reflectance and multi-stripe absorbance applications.
The Instaspec ISX IR scientific camera is designed with an indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) linear array (1 x 256 pixels) with a 50um pitch that operates in the (800-1,700nm) spectral range.
Both the Instaspec ISX CCD and ISX IR cameras feature high resolution and high dynamic range.
They are thermoelectrically cooled (TE air-cooled) and, bundled with Oriel's Instaspec Pro software, are said to produce a powerful spectrograph.
Other camera features include dual gain control settings and integrated digital signal processing (DSP), and both use standard USB 2.0 high-speed interfaces, which eliminate the need for custom interface cards.
