iStar CCD

Andor’s iStar extracts the very best from CCD sensor and image intensifier technologies.
Exceptional detection performances are accessed through high quantum-efficiency image intensifiers, thermo-electric cooling to -40ºC, 500 kHz photocathode gating rates and enhanced intensifier EBI noise reduction.
Low jitter, low insertion delay gating electronics and nanosecond-scale optical gating provide excellent timing accuracy down to a few 10’s of picoseconds, allowing ultra-precise synchronization of complex experiments through iStar’s comprehensive range of input/output triggering options.
