Description

Spectral Instruments was founded in 1993 in order to take developments in scientific CCD array technology to the next level and to incorporate this technology into analytical instrumentation and scientific imaging cameras. Spectral Instruments is managed by its founders, Gary Sims, Ph.D. and Keith Copeland. Gary and Keith have played pioneering roles in the development of modern scientific array detector technology. Spectral has proven capabilities in not only instrumentation development, but also manufacturing at any scale.

A back-illuminated device, which needs optical wavelength sensitivity, must have an additional coating for proper function. Every company has their own proprietary manner of performing the act of back-thinning and further coating, so variation between manufacturers can be significant. However, shown below is an example of some typical values from a CCD manufacturer (E2V) Spectral Instruments commonly uses.

Spectral Instruments develops and manufactures cooled CCD cameras that are used broadly in drug discovery. From complex crystallography images to sensitive and rapid optical readouts in automated systems Spectral can develop custom cameras, or modify its current line of cooled CCD cameras to meet customers' needs.
