The EMCCD camera optimized for the highest AO performance

With frame rates over 3000 fps in full-frame

The HNü 240 camera is optimized for Adaptive Optics (AO), providing the high frame rates necessary to outpace atmospheric distortion with the 240 x 240 pixels resolution critical to focal plane wavefront sensing and direct exoplanets imaging. The HNü 240 exceeds expectations, with unmatched sensitivity thanks to Nüvü’s signature CCD Controller for Counting Photons. It is the finest camera for your next great space discovery.

Adaptive Optics (AO) advantages

The goals of current and upcoming large telescopes require the highest level of AO performance. This, in turn, is driving demand for sensitive wavefront sensors that not only detect higher-order aberrations with a limited number of photons but also run at higher frame rates to outpace the changing atmosphere. To address these requirements, the HNü 240 camera delivers a full-detector frame rate of up to three thousand frames per second with sub-electron read noise and flexible readout sequences that can be tailored to different wavefront sensor designs.

Photon Counting performance comparison

Thanks to Nüvü’s CCD Controller for Counting Photons, less clock-induced charges (CIC) are generated, the dominant source of noise in low-light EMCCD imaging, providing to the HNü 240 camera at least 3x less noise than other cameras using the same detector whilst operating at a 50% higher readout rate for unmatched imaging speeds.

Built for easy integration

The user-friendly HNü 240 camera provides many advantages to efficiently bridge the gaps between purchase, setup and discoveries.
The HNü 240 camera is a compact and easy-to-use device with a Windows or Linux operating system. To allow quick and easy integration into any system, all standard HNü cameras come with a C-mount optical interface, imperial and metric mechanical holes on the sides. For fast and reliable image data transmission, the HNü 240 camera communication interface are either 10 Gigabit Ethernet or Camera Link Extended Full.
