The back-illuminated CCD in the ML4710 has exceptionally high quantum efficiency. Larger pixels provide deep dynamic range and gather more light for improved signal-to-noise. Available with midband, broadband, or UV coating on the sensor.
Quantum efficiency (QE) measures how effectively a detector converts incoming photons into electrons. In our graphs, QE is expressed as a percentage. A sensor’s QE typically varies based on its architecture, coatings, and materials. High QE remains a crucial consideration for applications such as astronomy, space debris imaging, and life science research.
