Andor Technology, an Oxford Instruments company specializing in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, has launched an ultrafast spectroscopy mode on its high-speed, low-noise Zyla and iStar scientific CMOS (sCMOS) platforms.
Physical and life science spectroscopists now have access to a combination of spectral rates up to 27000 sps, high sensitivity and high dynamic range.
On-head camera intelligence provides high-dynamic-range, fully user-configurable, ready-to-analyse binned single spectrum or multiple (multi-track) spectra. This upfront data processing reduces the data set size to be handled by users, the manufacturer says. A new 32-bit data transmission mode also allows the preservation of the signal dynamic range in these spectroscopy binning scenarios.
The Zyla ‘Spectroscopy’ Mode provides spectral rates up to 27057 (Zyla 5.5), suited for high-resolution, low-light and high-dynamic-range transient spectroscopy applications with 10’s of microsecond time-resolution. The Zyla’s linearity (better than 99.8%) and zero optical etaloning in the near-infrared yield quantitative measurement accuracy. Its multi-track mode with rates up to 6000 acquisitions/second delivers a tool for hyperspectral imaging and dual-track, kilohertz transient absorption spectroscopy.
The iStar brings together the low noise, high dynamic range and ultrafast spectral rates (up to 4,000 sps) of the sCMOS technology with nanosecond time-resolution. This combination is well suited for plasma spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) or pulsed fluorescence/photoluminescence spectroscopy.
