Where Can I Use CHARLIE?
CHARLIE, the back-illuminated, cooled sCMOS camera from greateyes, combines cutting-edge technology with innovative functionality to offer unprecedented opportunities for the measurements of tomorrow.
Built on decades of experience in ultra-high vacuum (UHV), CHARLIE is specially designed for a broad range of applications. Ultra-low-noise electronics combined with market-leading deep cooling make CHARLIE the most sensitive X-ray / EUV / VUV sCMOS camera available.
The detector delivers peak quantum efficiency up to 99%. With direct detection, photon scattering in scintillators does not apply — therefore offering sharper resolution. Furthermore, CHARLIE features high full-well capacity, high dynamic range, and 12-bit SDR and 16-bit HDR modes.
CHARLIE is built for imaging and spectroscopy across the UV to Hard X-ray spectrum, with the performance and flexibility needed for research and industrial environments alike.
Typical applications for CHARLIE include:
- X-ray Spectroscopy
- EUV Lithography
- High Harmonic Generation Detection/Experiments
- FEL High Rep Rate X-ray Imaging
- Coherent Diffraction Imaging
- SAXS
- RIXS
- NEXAFS Spectroscopy
- X-ray Ptychography
