Description
iStar 340T Intensified CCD
Andor’s iStar 340T Intensified CCD sensor series is designed to offer the ultimate integrated detection solution for high resolution, ns-scale time-resolved Spectroscopy. The high resolution 2048 x 512 array with 13.5 µm pixel size offers a 4:1 aspect ratio which is ideally suited for use with Andor’s Shamrock Czerny-Turner spectrograph series and accessories.
The iStar 340T Intensified CCD sensor boasts Multi-MHz readout along with laptop-friendly, USB 2.0 connectivity and a fully integrated, software-controlled Digital Delay Generator (DDG™). This allows seamless integration of complex experiments at the touch of a button, with full timing and gain control through a single interactive interface. Gen 2 & 3 image intensifiers with entrance input window and phosphor options are available to match wavelength range requirements from 120 nm to 1100 nm and minimum gating speeds requirements < 2 ns.
