Newton SO
Andor’s Newton SO series features high-QE sensors for direct detection of soft X-Ray, EUV or VUV photons. A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6” rotatable CF152 flange provides a robust and highly-effective seal to any compatible vacuum chamber interface.
Open front end
Multi-Megahertz readout
TE cooling to -100°C
Down to 13.5 x 13.5 μm pixel size
Crop mode operation
High Resolution, High Sensitivity and High Dynamic Range ‘Direct’ Detection
Andor’s Newton series offers outstanding sensitivity performance through a combination of > 95% QE back-illuminated sensors, low noise readout electronics and industry-leading, maintenance-free deep TE-cooling down to -100°C. It features a 1024 x 255 (26 µm pixel) and a 2048 x 512 (13.5 µm pixel) matrix options optimised for high dynamic range & high speed and high spatial resolution Spectroscopy in the VUV and soft x-ray range.
A convenient 16-point, knife-edge sealed 6” rotatable CF-152 flange provides a robust and highly-effective seal to any compatible vacuum chamber interface. The Newton SO platform also offers a USB2 interface and Labview or EPICS compatibility for seamless integration into complex setups.

Features Benefits Open front end
DN100CF / 6” CF / CF-152 flange and knife-edge sealing provided as standard for direct interfacing to vacuum chambers.
1024 x 255 and 2048 x 512 sensor options
Choice of high acquisition speed and dynamic range or high resolution.
26 x 26 and 13.5 x 13.5 µm pixel size options
Ideal balance of dynamic range and resolution.
Peak QE up to 95%
High photon collection efficiency for maximising signal-to noise ratios. ‘Enhanced’ process back-illuminated sensor options for increased QE in the soft x-ray range.
Thermo-electric cooling down to -100°C
Efficiently minimizes dark current noise for acquisitions requiring longer sensor exposure time, obtain better signal-to-noise ratios faster.
Low noise readout down to 2.5 e-
Intelligent low-noise electronics offer the most ‘silent’ system noise.
Up to 5 MHz pixel readout speed (3 MHz for 940 model)
Slow readout for low noise and best SNR performance, faster speed for studying dynamic processes.
Cropped sensor mode
Specialized acquisition mode for continuous imaging with fast temporal resolution, spectral rates up to 1,600 sps.
USB 2.0 interface
Built-in robust plug and play interface as standard.
Enhanced baseline clamp
Slower readout for lowest noise, faster speeds for more rapid readout and focusing
Software Development Kit (SDK)
Ease of control integration into complex setups: Matlab, Labview, Visual Basic, C/C++ or Linux.
Integrated in EPICS
Seamless integration and operation at EPICS-based particle accelerators.
Filter and filter holders options
Accommodate beryllium (or aluminium) windows with thickness down to 200 µm for removal of unwanted lower energy radiations
Open-front to standalone converter options
Provides maximum flexibility – camera can attach directly to a vacuum chamber, or be used as standalone with a beryllium filter
