Product Overview

The Photek PTC24-2 Temperature Controller is used to control Photek’s detector cooling systems, providing operational temperatures of –25°C or lower. 

 

This level of cooling can reduce a typical broadband detector’s dark noise from around 2000 counts/s to less than 20, with no loss of sensitivity. No other photon detection technology can match this noise performance.  

 

Photek’s imaging devices which incorporate cooling are supplied with a Peltier housing around the tube. Set-up is as easy as connecting the cooler housing to either a water supply or re-circulator and the PTC24-2. 

The PTC24-2 can be controlled using either a simple to use computer interface or its intuitive front-panel controls. Both the cooling head and heat exchanger temperatures are monitored and provide a safety interlock to prevent damage. Custom configurations are available on request.
