[vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

Princeton Instruments, the world’s leading developer and supplier of ultra-low-noise, deep-cooled scientific CCD cameras, is proud to offer our popular PI-MTE series for in-vacuum x-ray imaging and spectroscopy applications.

NEW! PI-MTE3 – Large-format, in-vacuum cameras with up to 4k x 4k sensor formats

PI-MTE3 cameras provide the following key features:

Back-illuminated CCDs, with up to 4k x 4k resolution and without antireflective coating
Sensitivity in the x-ray energy range from ~10 eV to 30 KeV
100% in-vacuum testing, including cables and cooling tubes
High frame rates with multi-port, 16 MHz effective readout
Lowest dark current for long integration time
Advanced thermal design for 24/7 operation in-vacuum
Full experiment control via optional LightField software

Breakthrough In-Vacuum Performance

PI-MTE3 in-vacuum CCD cameras are engineered for direct detection in VUV, EUV, and x-ray imaging applications from ~10 eV to 30 keV.

The back-illuminated CCDs (large 2k x 2k or 4k x 4k formats) utilized by the PI-MTE3 platform offer >95% peak quantum efficiency. Efficient liquid cooling results in low dark current, facilitating long integration times.

Due to their four-port readout architecture, these low-noise, 16-bit cameras provide frame rates up to 7x to 10x higher than previous-generation two-port cameras.

Sensitivity in X-ray energy range from < 30 eV to ~20 keV:

Well suited for a wide variety of soft x-ray spectroscopy and imaging applications
X-ray microscopy, x-ray plasma diagnostics, coherent x-ray diffraction imaging
EUV lithography, and x-ray holography

PI-MTE3 Large Format Sensors

Large-format, back-illuminated sensors
2048 x 2048 and 4096 x 4096 resolution CCD sensor formats
>95% peak quantum efficiency in the 10 eV to 30 keV range

PI-MTE3 – Ultra-flexible performance:

Flexible multiple-readout-port design for capturing even ultrafast events
4-port, 2-port, or 1-port readout; custom sensor readout; and kinetic readout
3.2 fps at 16 MHz (PI-MTE3 2048B)
Complete triggering support
Independently optimized clocking for each combination

PI-MTE3 – Highest frame rates:

~3 full fps @ 2k x 2k resolution
Up to 7x to 10x higher than previous generation
Thermal design to efficiently dissipate heat from electronics. Required for continuous operation without the need to shut down the camera periodically

100% In-vacuum testing:

Every camera system tested in-vacuum
Testing includes cables and cooling tubes
24/7 in-vacuum operation: 10-9 Torr

Powerful LightField software (optional):

Powerful, intuitive user interface provides complete control of PI cameras
Built-in math engine to analyze image and spectral data in real-time
Universal programming interface – PICAM (64 bit) – for easy custom programming
Seamless integration of hardware controls and direct data acquisition into National Instruments’ LabVIEW, MathWorks’ MATLAB and EPICS synchrotron software
