The Ocean Optics line of high-sensitivity back-thinned 2D FFT-CCD spectrometers for low light-level, UV-sensitive and other scientific applications now includes the uncooled Maya2000 and Maya2000 Pro, which offer greater than 90% quantum efficiency, high dynamic range and excellent deep-UV response (<190 nm).

Advantages of Back-thinned FFT-CCD Detectors

Back-Thinned CCD area image sensors have high UV response, great signal-to-noise characteristics and wide dynamic range, making them especially suited for low light level applications. Because of their great native UV response, FFT-CCD detectors do not require the application of UV-sensitive coatings, which is common with standard CCD-array detectors. That’s important because batch-to-batch variation can be problematic with some UV coatings.

Introducing Maya2000-series Spectrometers

If $10,000 is a little bit out of your budget range, and if long integration times aren’t part of your application, the Maya2000 and Maya2000 Pro may fill the bill. Indeed, at introductory prices of just $4800 and $5800, respectively, Maya2000 and Maya2000 Pro offer great value and performance for most any application requiring high sensitivity, good UV response and great dynamic range.

While Maya2000 and Maya2000 Pro have similar performance for most parameters, the Maya2000 Pro offers better dynamic range and signal-to-noise (see comparison tables for a specification-by-specification analysis). Maya2000 starting at: $4800 Maya2000 Pro starting: $5800.

Turn Maya into a Network Spectrometer

When purchased with the Remora Network Adapter users can communicate with the Maya over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Use with SpectraSuite Software, and turn your device into a network accessible spectrometer. Remotely capture spectral data from anywhere Plus, Remora allows multiple users to access data and experiment settings without the need for additional equipment. Remora's web-interface works with all popular web browsers and allows you to monitor data from a PDA, iPhone, and most internet ready devices. - Learn more

Maya2000 Nitrogen Purgebox

The Nitrogen Purgebox gives you the ability to measure under nitrogen flushed conditions. Use it for applications where oxygen is negatively influencing your measurements - like deep UV (below 190 nm). The Nitrogen Purgebox helps eliminate absorption from oxygen.
