Belfast, Northern Ireland, 17th October 2013 – Andor Technology plc (Andor), a world leader in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, today announced the launch of the new iKon-L HF fibre optic camera. The outstanding design brings together the camera’s key elements in a single optimized unit: the highest QE (95%) back-illuminated sensor, a single directly bonded FOP and a unique spring-loading “Soft Dock” mount. This design delivers the highest optical performance high transmission, spatial resolution performance along with the ultra-low noise of the outstanding iKon-L platform.

This is the camera of choice for indirect high energy applications, from soft to hard X-ray ideally suited for high spatial resolution imaging of low flux signal. Andor offers three variants to cover the most common requirements, all of which can be further modified or changed to suit evolving needs.
