Sensor Types:
Princeton Instruments' proprietary eXcelon process increases detector sensitivity in the blue and NIR while suppressing etalon interference fringes.
B/I DD (Back-illuminated deep depletion) sensors have up to 95% QE in the NIR with minimal etaloning.
B/I (Back-illuminated) sensors have up to 95% QE in the visible but are subject to etaloning in the NIR.
BUV (Enhanced UV) sensors offer the highest UV sensitivity with moderate visible sensitivity.
F/I (Front-illuminated) CCD sensors offer economical performance from ~400-1000 nm with up to ~50% QE and negligible etaloning. Open Electrode architecture improves QE by reducing the area of the electrodes.
Pixel Size:
All PIXIS cameras offer 100% fill factors
Larger pixels offer higher well capacity
Smaller pixels offer higher spatial resolution in some cases; for more information, see hyperlink to IsoPlane page
Peak QE:
Maximum values of quantum efficiency (QE) are shown at 25° C.
