Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Manx R Series

Based on a brand new, in-house developed InGaAs linear detector, the Manx rectangular (R) is a high-performance short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera providing high speed and quality line-scan imaging. At unprecedented line rates of up to 256 kHz (or 128 kHz), the Manx rectangular (R) stands as the fastest line-scan InGaAs camera available in the world.

The Manx rectangular (R) is able to provide up to 2048 pixel resolution. It also presents the lowest noise performance record for a 2048 pixel SWIR linear camera, combined with excellent dynamic range.

The use of CoaXPress interfacing enables fast and reliable data transfer.

The Manx rectangular (R) is offered in 3 different resolutions of 512, 1024 or 2048 pixels.

The Manx rectangular (R) products are suitable for spectroscopy and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).
