Infrared measurement

Tech note Tradeoffs and considerations of cooling InAsSb detectors This technical note can help guide customers through the decision-making process of whether to include cooling in their system, using examples of Hamamatsu’s InAsSb detectors and LEDs.  See our InAsSb detectors

Video Infrared product conversations Part 3: IR detector deep dive In this podcast, our engineers do a deeper dive into infrared detectors. The general physics will be covered as well as specifications to consider when making a new design. There is also discussion on current product options and updates from Hamamatsu.

X-ray inspection

Videos Lithium ion battery inspection  These videos illustrate how our microfocus X-ray sources, line scan cameras, and flat panel sensors can be used for inspecting lithium ion batteries along a production line.

Product highlights

New Compact NIR-PMT module H15620 series Compared to our previous NIR-PMT modules, the new H15620 series has a more compact form measuring approximately 126 mm x 60 mm x 80 mm. In addition, these modules feature a high-sensitivity NIR-PMT and a TE-cooler. Part numbers: H15620-25 (spectral range: 950-1200 nm) H15620-45 (spectral range: 950-1400 nm)

New ORCA-Fire CMOS camera C16240-20UP The ORCA-Fire intelligently integrates all the essential elements of a high performance, back-thinned, scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera. The camera’s excellence is rooted in our dedication to low noise and high quantum efficiency sCMOS technology. With the ORCA-Fire, high sensitivity is realized while also achieving excellent resolution and blazing fast speeds.
