CHARLIE - Cooled sCMOS Camera
State-of-the-art scientific camera with back-illuminated sCMOS sensor
CHARLIE for Imaging and Spectroscopy
Deep cooled direct detection sCMOS camera
Straight out of Berlin comes CHARLIE, greateyes’ new back-illuminated cooled sCMOS camera that combines cutting-edge technology with innovative functionality, to offer unprecedented opportunities for the measurements of tomorrow.
Built on our decades of experience in ultra high vacuum (UHV), CHARLIE is specially designed for a broad range of applications. Ultra low-noise electronics combined with market-leading deep cooling make CHARLIE the most sensitive X-ray / EUV / VUV sCMOS camera available.
The detector delivers peak quantum efficiency up to 99%. With direct detection, photon scattering in scintillators does not apply, therefore offering sharper resolution. Furthermore, CHARLIE features high full-well capacity, high dynamic range, and 12-bit SDR and 16-bit HDR modes.
