What is xiJ?

Meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled performance and versatility, our latest scientific imaging systems are compact and highly sensitive.
Equipped with Gpixel's latest scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (sCMOS) sensors utilizing backside illumination sensor architecture (BSI), they provide high spatial-temporal resolution (e.g. 15 Mpix up to 48 FPS) and exceptional data acquisition capabilities for a wide range of scientific applications, even in low-light conditions. Utilizing advanced thermoelectric Peltier cooling, an impressive temperature reduction down to -25 °C can be achieved, enabling a minimal dark current of <0.6 [e-/s/pix at -20 °C], providing a stable imaging environment even in challenging conditions.
In addition, our system's housing is carefully crafted from stainless steel and copper to enhance thermal stability and ensure durability. Indium seals further contribute to the long-term stability of the sensor chamber climate, providing a reliable and robust platform for your experiments.
Customize your imaging setup with ease by choosing from a variety of lens mounts, including C-mount and M42-mount. All of these features are easily accessible, using efficient power management and streamlined connectivity via USB3 interface with USB-C connector that takes advantage of the power delivery protocol (PD2.0).
