The S11028 series, with its active area of 1 mm x 1 mm, is available in three pixel counts (100, 400, or 1600 pixels). Each pixel contains a quenching resistor so that simultaneous photon events can be counted separately and with a high degree of accuracy. The devices feature typical gain values from 250,000 to several million, depending on the specific pixel number. They also feature high photon detection efficiency to UV and blue light, with peak sensitivity at 440 nm, making them ideal for scintillator readout.
The S11028 series is ideal for a variety of applications, including positron emission tomography, high-energy physics, DNA sequencing, fluorescence measurement, nuclear medicine, point of care systems, drug discovery, medical diagnostic equipment and environmental analysis. Hamamatsu also offers a temperature controller which maintains the temperature inside the thermoelectrically cooled package at a constant level.
