HiRes IV Plus
HiRes series is a cooled digital cameras series born to detect extremely faint light emissions.
There are two versions: the standard HiRes IV and the upgraded model HiRes IV Plus, both of them made of two main components: the head (with CCD sensor, Double stage Peltier cooling system, electronics) and the controller, that includes the power supply.
This series displays KODAK and E2V Technologies sensors, either marked by high definition (small pixels : <= 16 mm) or high sensitivity (bigger pixels : >= 20 mm). They belong to the front-illuminated kind, with thin indium electrodes able to raise the Quantum Efficiency in the case of shorter wavelengths, or to the back-illuminated type to make the most of the latest CCD technology.

Among the main application fields : Biology, Astronomy, Spectroscopy, RAMAN Spectroscopy, Semiconductor Physics, Plasma Physics and X-Ray Physics.
A line completely devoted to Spectroscopy is available.
HiRes IV also includes the former Hurricane specs.


The HiRes IV Plus is the upgraded model of HiRes IV. As the CHROMA C4, it is equipped of three integrated peripherals, able to run an MCP, a LASER or other external devices. Moreover, it performs a better readout speed of HiRes IV, up to 1 Mpixel/second, and higher DT below ambient temperature, due to two different system cooling:
1) Double Stage Peltier with an air exchanger, performing DT= -60°C
2) Double Stage Peltier with a liquid exchanger (a glycol solution), directly connected to the freezer box, placed within the controller, performing DT= -80°C. The sensor cell is vacuum tight and contains a gas (Nitrogen), so that the customer doesn't need to keep a steady maintenance.
