S10140/S10141 series is a family of back-thinned FFT-CCD image sensors specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. By using the binning operation, S10140/S0141 series can be used as a linear image sensor having a long aperture in the direction of the device length. This makes S10140/S10141 series ideally suited for use in spectrophotometry. The binning operation offers significant improvement in S/N and signal processing speed compared with conventional methods by which signals are digitally added by an external circuit. S10140/S10141 series also features low noise and low dark signal (MPP mode operation). This enables low-light-level detection and long integration time, thus achieving a wide dynamic range.
S10140/S10141 series has an effective pixel size of 12 × 12 µm and is available in image areas ranging from 12.288 (H) × 1.464 (V) mm2 (1024 × 122 pixels) up to a large image area of 24.576 (H) × 6.072 (V) mm2 (2048 × 506 pixels).
