Princeton Instruments introduces PIoNIR: 640, the world’s first scientific-grade, deep-cooled, high-resolution InGaAs camera. The 640x512 camera is ideal for low-light near infrared (<1.7um) imaging and spectroscopy applications such as nanotube fluorescence, photovoltaic inspection, emission microscopy, non-destructive testing and singlet oxygen detection. The camera is available with LightField software featuring cutting-edge user interface.The PIoNIR: 640 is a very unique NIR/SWIR camera in today’s market. It combines the advantages of the latest-generation 640 x 512 InGaAs array [peak quantum efficiency: >80%] with thermoelectric cooling [down to -90°C] and low-noise readout electronics to deliver the highest possible sensitivity in this important wavelength range.
