NIR SWIR Cameras
Brand: Oxford Instruments | Category: Nanotechnology
Andor's C-RED series gathers InGaAs based cameras built for quantitative scientific measurement in the NIR II and SWIR imaging window. High sensitivity is matched to high speed and wide dynamic range across a wide field of view, so both fast processes and slow ones running to several minutes of exposure can be captured. Three models make up the family: the C-RED 2 for high speed low noise work, the compact temperature stabilised C-RED 2 Lite, and the C-RED 2 ER extended range versions reaching 1.9 µm and 2.2 µm.

- Kymera 193i Spectrograph
Designed around research-grade performance, versatility and ease of use, the Kymera 193i uses intelligent motorised adaptive focusing to reach the best spectral resolution in any configuration with high repeatability. Its 193 mm focal length and F/3.6 aperture, paired with Andor's ultra-sensitive UV-NIR and SWIR detectors, give strong photon collection efficiency for low light micro-fluorescence and Raman work as well as routine spectral acquisition. An indexed dual-grating turret with eXpressID RFID recognition, dual detector outputs and an astigmatism-corrected toroidal optical design make the platform highly configurable. Dedicated micro-spectroscopy interfaces, including a modular cage system, allow direct integration with microscopes.
- CCD, sCMOS & EMCCD Cameras for X-ray and EUV
Andor groups its high energy detection cameras into a single portfolio spanning CCD, sCMOS and EMCCD sensors for table-top laboratory and beamline experiments. The range serves extreme ultraviolet, X-ray, neutron and electron detection in material science, plasma studies, bio-sample analysis and beam or source characterisation. Three coupling approaches are covered: open front direct detection with UltraVac, fibre optic coupled indirect detection, and lens coupled indirect detection. The newest platform is the Marana-X back-illuminated sCMOS for direct X-ray detection.
- Kymera 328i Spectrograph
The Kymera 328i is a highly modular third-metre spectrograph with patented Adaptive Focus, a quadruple on-axis grating turret and TruRes technology for enhanced spectral resolution. Its motorised Adaptive Focus automatically reaches the best optical performance for any grating, camera or wavelength range, while TruRes delivers resolution gains exceeding 30% without changing grating or applying mathematical post-processing. The 328 mm focal length and F/4.1 aperture cover luminescence and photoluminescence spectroscopy through to higher resolution Raman and plasma studies. A robust on-axis wavelength drive gives single-grating and grating-to-grating centre wavelength repeatability down to 4 and 10 pm respectively.
