NIRvana
NIRvana cameras are designed to give unprecedented performance for imaging in the SWIR wavelength range. The versatile scientific InGaAs cameras, deliver both high speed imaging with 100s of fps as well as ultra low dark noise for long exposures of extremely weak signals.
NIRvana Family Features
Large Pixel Size Delivers High Sensitivity
We don’t just have lower noise – we collect more photons too. With larger pixel area comes greater light detection ability. The 20 μm pixels of the NIRvana® family collect 80% more light than 15 μm pixel cameras, and 4 times as much light as 10 μm pixel cameras.
Proven Scientific Performance
Scientific SWIR imaging presents unique challenges. Build on more than two decades of scientific imaging expertise, the NIRvana family of InGaAs cameras is designed to deliver the sensitivity, low noise, and reliability required for demanding research applications.
NIRvana cameras have been used by researchers around the world across a wide range of scientific disciplines, including spectroscopy, nanomaterials research, astronomy, semiconductor analysis, and SWIR imaging. Explore our Learning Center resources to learn more about scientific SWIR imaging and the applications driving discovery.
Experience the performance of NIRvana for yourself by scheduling a demonstration with our team.
Imaging and Spectroscopy in One Powerful Software
Powerful and intuitive software with built-in math engine allows for the complete control of cameras and spectrographs, with real-time image analysis and spectral data.
LightField software provides seamless integration of hardware controls and direct data acquisition into programmes such as Python, National Instruments’ LabVIEW® and MathWorks’ MATLAB®. This software also fully supports IntelliCal automated wavelength and intensity calibration.
Easy Integration with Linux, C++, Python…
Our software support doesn’t end there. Our PICam SDK offers C++ integration and extensive documentation, and is fully supported in Linux.
