Low background, high resolution
The NightOWL II uses an ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared spectrum. Efficient cooling of the array (absolute -80 to -90°C depending on the room temperature) ensures very low noise, so that long exposure times can be used to integrate the signal over time and detect even weak light signals. The sensor dimensions are 13.3 x 13.3 mm, and captured images have 1024 x 1024 pixels, 13 µm width, providing high imaging resolution.
Light-tight cabinet with motor-driven camera
The NightOWL cabinet is extremely light-tight, preventing any interferences from ambient light. NightOWL is the first imager with a motor-driven camera inside the cabinet. Optimum resolution and focus of the sample are achieved by automatic positioning of the camera according to the actual sample size. The camera can be moved from a height of 50 mm to 725 mm allowing focussing on every sample size up to 250 mm. For close-ups a macro table can be used. The camera is set up with flat field and height correction. This calibration eliminates non-uniformities caused by variations in the optical path due to height, illumination or lens effects.
