iDus series – the most sensitive NIR CCD platform
Andor’s iDus 416 platform boasts a unique combination of very low dark noise and high QE, offering unrivalled sensitivity in the near-infrared.
This makes it the ideal detector for NIR Raman and Photoluminescence, reducing greatly acquisition times and removing the need for inconvenient LN2 cooling.
- iDus DV416A-LDC-DD with 3-stage peltier cooling
- iDus DU416A-LDC-DD with 4-stage peltier cooling
The unique 2000 x 256, 15 µm pixel array allows extended, broadband and high resolution spectral acquisition, while the fringe suppression technology virtually eliminates the optical etalonning at the higher wavelengths. All iDus 416 models can be seamlessly integrated with Andor’s Shamrock spectrographs as well as with spectrographs from other manufacturers.

NOW at Baader Planetarium: ANDOR Cameras
Cameras for Astronomy: from high time resolution sCMOS and EMCCD cameras to slow scan CCDs Andor Cameras for Astronomy - An Overview We are pleased to announce our partnership with Oxford Instruments to offer the high end camera brand ANDOR Technology. This is primarily in response to requests from scientific institutes to integrate these high-quality special cameras into telescope systems and observation stations. Andor Technology - an Oxford Instruments company - has achieved a special position in the development of cameras for very special applications in science and research in recent years. The performance of the models offered under the ANDOR brand name goes well beyond conventional limits. Exceptional quantum efficiencies of over 90% over a wide wavelength range are standard here. The sensors are in vacuum housings, which allows thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C (absolute sensor temperature). In combination with the special readout electronics of the cameras an extremely low readout noise is achieved. The CCD models are particularly suitable for low-light applications and are also ideal for measurements requiring long exposure times. Such measurements also benefit from the extremely low dark current of this camera series. Andor's scientific CMOS cameras (sCMOS) represent a breakthrough technology based on the...
