ROSS 1000 Streak Camera System
The ROSS 1000 Streak Camera System is engineered for facilities performing diverse experiments with a range of temporal requirements. The unit is small, portable, and provides users with maximum flexibility. Each timing module provides up to 16 sweep windows and, if needed, timing modules can be swapped quickly and easily for even more timing flexibility. Through Sydor's powerful ROSSApp software, the system's internal triggers can be synchronized automatically with a single experiment master trigger, making synchronization intuitive and user-friendly.
The sweep modules of every ROSS 1000 system are customized in collaboration with the customer. This ensures that both the best temporal resolution and total data acquisition duration can be optimized to each customer's needs. Sydor's engineers are knowledgeable in the applications utilizing streak cameras. Their experience allows each unit to be built to individual requirements.
The ROSS 1000 system offers further flexibility in its capability to work in single shot mode, slow rep readout mode, or fast repeated sweep mode. In fast repeated sweep mode the swept signal can be accumulated multiple times over a single CCD exposure. This is ideal when weak signals need to be accumulated to increase precision such as in FLIM or in optical temperature measurement applications. The swept signal can be driven at rates of up to 2 MHz (depending on sweep window duration).
Sydor also offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional imaging optics. With all-reflective Offner input optics, users minimize chromatic aberrations and observe superior performance compared to traditional inputs.
For spectroscopy applications, Sydor can supply a spectrometer (or use a customer-supplied spectrometer) and mate it to the streak camera through the use of a light-tight Spectrometer Interface Module. This module allows for fine positioning control and securely couples the two instruments in a manner that protects the photocathode, while maintaining the fidelity and alignment of the input signal.
Each ROSS System is supplied with ROSSApp software, which runs the streak camera and, when used, the spectrometer. This powerful tool collects data, performs image analysis, and is capable of scripting for easy automation of repetitive tasks, such as calibration or exporting of image data.
