CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire) - RSNA 2008 -- DALSA Corporation (TSX: DSA) announced the availability of two new High Quanta image sensors tailored for scientific, life sciences, and astronomy applications. DALSA's new High Quanta image sensors will be showcased this week at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Show, at DALSA's booth in the North Building of McCormick Place in Chicago, Hall B 7153.
DALSA's High Quanta sensors use advanced fabrication techniques and achieve incredible improvements in noise performance and quantum efficiency (QE), peaking at more than 70%. The new sensors also employ the latest designs in output amplifiers providing exceptionally low noise at high data rates, and are available now.
These two new High Quanta sensors with resolutions of 1044 x 1044 (IA-DJ-01044-00-R) and 524 x 524 (IA-DJ-00524-00-R) feature the same 24 µm size pixel. "Now users can enjoy the same High Quanta imaging performance in smaller and more cost effective sensor formats," said Behnam Rashidian, Product Manager, DALSA Life Sciences. "These new members of the High Quanta sensor family are aimed to be value leaders in their category," he concludes.
For those applications demanding ultra violet (UV) sensitivity and >90% QE, back side thinned (BST) devices will be available on a custom basis.
