CHICAGO, IL -- 11/30/08 --
RSNA 2008 --
DALSA Corporation (TSX: DSA) today
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 um
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.
