Charged-Coupled Devices (CCDs) are solid-state image sensors that provide low light level detection, with high signal-to-noise ratio and wide dynamic range. The vast majority of our CCDs are full frame transfer devices with 100% fill factor. We offer scientific grade CCDs including a unique back-thinned (BT-CCD) device featuring 90% quantum efficiency (QE). The back-thinned CCD has high QE from the near infrared to the vacuum UV region of the spectrum and it can even directly detect X-rays with energy below 0.5 keV. Front-illuminated CCDs can be used to directly detect X-rays up to 10 keV and X-rays over 100 keV can be imaged using fiber optic scintillators (FOS). Our CCD detectors are used in low light level imaging, raman spectroscopy, microscopy, non-destructive inspection, dental X-ray imaging and medical imaging.
