  • Dual Exposure Ring Mode
  • Fringe Suppression Technology ™
  • UltraVac™

Andor’s PV Inspector NIR Camera is designed to offer ultimate speed and sensitivity performance for in-line Electro- and Photoluminescence Inspection, delivering > 90% QE beyond 800 nm and incorporating Fringe Suppression Technology™ to minimize fringing effects in the NIR. The 1024 x 1024 array boasts high resolution 13 μm pixels, and benefits from negligible darkcurrent with thermoelectric cooling down to -70°C. PV Inspector offers industry highest throughput via rapid readout speeds up to 5 MHz, combined with a unique ‘dual exposure ring mode’ that allows fast exposure switching. A lockable USB 2.0 port ensures secure vibration resistant connectivity.

The enhanced NIR sensitivity and unique high speed modes of the PV Inspector enable dual exposure EL inspection at rates in excess of 1 cell per second, ideally suited for very high throughput PV inspection systems as found in stringers and cell sorters. Rapid, dual exposure imaging, allows for quantitative measurement of cells under distinct bias levels.

  • QE > 90% beyond 800 nm, optimized for NIR – Very high detector sensitivity in near infra-red
  • 5 MHz and 3 MHz readout speeds – Rapid frame rates for high throughput cell inspection
  • Dual Exposure Ring Mode – Unique acquisition mode for exposure time switching
  • Fringe Suppression Technology ™ – Minimizes etaloning effects in the NIR, optimizes optical resolution
  • UltraVac™ – Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year after year
  • Single AR-coated window design – NIR optimized anti-reflection coating
  • Thermoelectric cooling to -70°C (air cooled) – Critical for elimination of dark current detection limit
  • Lockable USB connection – Ensures secure, vibration resistant connectivity
  • Cooling on power-up – PV Inspector does not require PC connectivity to maintain stable thermoelectric cooling
  • Enhanced Baseline Clamp – Essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements.
