Princeton Instruments's 2D-OMA V has set the industry standard for low-light level NIR imaging (0.9µm - 1.7µm) and has enabled researchers involved in NIR imaging applications such as single nanotube fluorescence to image their research experiments at extremely low-light levels. The 2D-OMA V detector use a 320 x 256 format focal plane array with 30µm x 30µm pixels and is cryogenically cooled to -100°C to reduce thermally generated dark noise.

Features and Benefits

• InGaAs detector with 100% fill factor and >80% quantum efficiency
• Low dark current and extended integration times
• Greater than 50 full frames-per-second using 5MHz readout
• Software controlled high-and low- gain modes for high sensitivity or high-dynamic range operation
• On-line flat field (non-uniformity) and background correction
• Single sapphire window in the optical path for high-throughput
• Electronic shuttering for 1µsec minimum exposure time
