Leading-Edge CCD Detector with One Million Pixels

Capable of Simultaneous Recording of All Wavelengths

Data for all wavelengths are captured as an image formed on a two-dimensional
plane using a large 1-inch CCD sensor, in the same way that a camera captures a
photograph. The acquired data are saved for reviewing at any time.
The wavelength can be changed after the measurement is finished, thus reducing
the need to reanalyze samples and enabling faster method development. In
addition, qualitative data can be read and matrix elements can be checked and
corrected for, thus eliminating measurement errors due to interference.

Anti-Blooming One-Inch Back-Illuminated CCD Detector

Since the instrument employs a back-illuminated CCD with Light
overflow drains, it provides a broad light receiving area, while
also preventing blooming

Automatic System Shutdown After Analysis

The cooling temperature of the CCD is −15°C, which means it can be used at a higher temperature than a conventional semiconductor
detector (−30°C to −40°C). The waiting time at shutdown that is usually required in order to prevent condensation is not necessary.

High Sensitivity and High Resolution Schmidt-aberration Corrected

A Schmidt mirror is used for correcting astigmatism. With Schmidt Mirror Without Schmidt Mirror
Spectrometers without this function result in blurring along the
perimeter of the detector, which decreases resolution and
sensitivity.
