TE-77

The TE-77 is the first of our advanced scientific CCD cameras, and showcases the power and possibilities of new CCD technology. Utilising novel new chamber sealing methodology, alongside increased cooling delta of -60°C, this camera achieves incredibly low read noise, enabling detection of the faintest signals. Furthermore, the exceptionally deep full well depth means there is much lower saturation when imaging, revealing exceptional detail. Atik’s design and engineering complement this advanced sensor from Teledyne e2v perfectly.

 

 

For advanced scientific imaging, the TE-77 houses the incredible CCD77 sensor. This sensor has very low noise and dark current, large pixels, excellent full well and QE characteristics. Maximising on dynamic range, this CCD sensor is manufactured without anti-blooming structures. Combine this with Atik's trusted, robust build quality and reliable cooling to -60°C delta to achieve an imaging solution capable of detecting very faint signals in the most demanding of applications, such as:

  • Chemiluminescence

  • Fluorescence

  • Spectroscopy

  • Microscopy

  • Bioluminescence


Another key feature of CCD technology is asymmetric binning to achieve even greater detail. Additionally, Teledyne remain committed to the development of CCD technology, giving peace of mind for continuous support of this product for years to come.

Atik cameras are manufactured in ISO 9001 accredited European facilities, with support and integration assistance from our in-house engineering team based in the UK.

All Atik's OEM scientific products are delivered with our collaborative customisation service. Along with the choice of a front or back illuminated sensor, the TE-77 has the option to add a 45mm bi-stable high speed scientific shutter, capable of 20.0 millisecond opening times. It is also possible to adapt the case or the comprehensive software development kit to suit your specific requirements, so please get in touch to discuss your needs.
