LUMINA Intensifier

Single-Photon Sensitivity for the Camera You Already Own

LUMINA is a fully integrated scientific image intensifier that mounts in front of the sCMOS or CCD camera you already use. It adds single-photon sensitivity, nanosecond-scale gating, and cooled dark-count suppression — without replacing the camera or optical path you rely on.

Built for Your Experiment

Every component of the Lumina Intensifier is designed around real research needs — from long low-light integrations to demanding beam-time environments.

ALD-Coated MCPs

Atomic layer deposition coating on the dual-stage chevron MCP is designed to extend tube lifetime and support faster channel recharging at high count rates. (Figure to be confirmed against Photek datasheet.)

Modular Relay Optics

Customer-exchangeable 1:1 (25 mm) or 1:2 (40 mm) relay optics, F0.9, without factory service. C-mount front for standard input lenses; illuminates sensor formats up to 1 inch.

Integrated Cooling

Optional photocathode cooling reduces dark count rate by up to 500×, down to roughly 10 photons/cm²/s — built for photon counting, coincidence imaging, and long low-light integrations.

10 ns Gating

Electro-optical photocathode gating for time-domain imaging, background rejection, and synchronised acquisition against a pulsed source.

Self-Contained Electronics

Integrated high-voltage supply and programmable gain control. No external power supplies or gate drivers needed.

Proven in the Field

Deployed at neutron beamlines and synchrotron facilities, where equipment must withstand harsh environments across extended beam-time campaigns. Delivered in a rugged Pelicase for safe transport worldwide.
