ANDOR CB Series Scientific Cameras
The iStar Series ICCD & sCMOS Detectors are high-performance intensified imaging systems designed for demanding applications in plasma diagnostics, combustion analysis, and ultrafast spectroscopy. By combining high-resolution CCD and sCMOS sensors with an advanced fiber-coupled intensifier design, the iStar series delivers exceptional light collection efficiency, superior image uniformity, and minimal optical distortion.
With ultrafast gating below 2 ns, ultra-low noise performance, and market-leading dynamic range at full speed, iStar cameras enable precise time-resolved imaging and spectroscopy of fast transient phenomena. The platform supports high-speed imaging up to 4,000 fps, advanced multitrack spectroscopy, and simultaneous broadband and narrowband spectral measurements, making it ideal for both imaging and spectral diagnostics in challenging low-light environments.
