LANSIS 424
LANSIS 424 CCD Camera
The LANSIS 424 is a large‑area, back‑illuminated CCD camera designed for applications requiring maximum sensitivity, ultra‑low noise, and long exposure times. Featuring a 2048 × 2048 pixel AIMO CCD sensor, the LANSIS 424 is optimized for low‑light imaging and spectroscopy where high dynamic range and signal stability are critical.
With deep liquid cooling and high quantum efficiency across the UV to near‑infrared spectral range, the LANSIS 424 is particularly well suited for fluorescence, photoluminescence, in‑vivo imaging, and other photon‑limited measurements. Its permanent vacuum‑sealed design ensures long‑term stability and reliability in OEM and system‑integrated instruments.
Description
LANSIS – CCD Cameras for Spectroscopy
The LANSIS™ CCD camera family from Teledyne Princeton Instruments represents the latest generation of CCD array detector technology, specifically developed for OEMs and system integrators in spectroscopy applications. LANSIS cameras combine high reliability, strong performance, and cost efficiency to meet a wide range of technical and budget requirements.
Designed for demanding spectroscopic techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, optical emission spectroscopy (OES), fluorescence, and photoluminescence (PL), LANSIS cameras deliver high sensitivity across the ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelength range. The use of back-illuminated CCD sensors, with optional eXcelon® technology, provides high quantum efficiency while minimizing etaloning effects, particularly in the near-infrared.
LANSIS cameras are engineered for easy system integration, offering multiple mechanical mounting options and a plug-and-play user experience. Full compatibility with Teledyne’s PICam™ software development kit enables straightforward integration with common development environments such as Python, C++, and LabVIEW.
High manufacturing consistency and permanent vacuum-sealed technology ensure long-term stability and reliability in OEM instrumentation. With multiple sensor formats available, the LANSIS platform supports a broad range of spectroscopy system designs for both scientific and industrial applications.
