Intensified CCD Imager for Detection of Ultraviolet and Particles  

Sensor Sciences, LLC (formerly Siegmund Scientific) 

Pleasant Hill, CA
 

INNOVATION 
    Developed a dual mode, high performance, analog/photon counting intensified CCD for solar physics, astrophysics, & medical imaging.
Flange Assembly for Pulsed Laser Depostion
Flange Assembly for Pulsed Laser Deposition
ACCOMPLISHMENTS 
    • Established the practical feasibility of high spatial resolution intensified CCD detector systems for UV, and particle detection that can be implemented in small and large area formats, operating in analog mode, photon counting mode, or both modes of operation.
    • Imaging, high resolution (<5µm), photon counting and analog mode detector with sensitivity to ultraviolet, X-rays, and visible light, formats to 40mm, with low noise and long lifetime.
COMMERCIALIZATION 
 
    • Potential commercial market in the fields of high resolution real time biomedical imaging, UV fluorescence imaging, protein crystallography, confocal microscopy, gel electrophoresis, and UV/X-ray Microscopy.
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS 
    • Potential commercial market in the fields of high resolution real time biomedical imaging, UV fluorescence imaging, protein crystallography, confocal microscopy, gel electrophoresis, and UV/X-ray Microscopy.
    • Proposed for use in SMEX instruments, and sounding rockets.
