S7018-1010 is a FFT-CCD area image sensor specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. In particular, this image
sensor is ideally suited for extremely low-light-level detection in such fields as spectroscopy and astronomy.
By operating this image sensor in MPP mode, the dark signal can be exceedingly reduced. Moreover, use of the low-noise readout amplifier
enables low-light-level detection and long integration time, thus achieving a wide dynamic range.
S7018-1010 has an effective pixel size of 24 × 24 µm and is available in active area of 24.576 (H) × 24.576 (V) mm.

Precaution for use (electrostatic countermeasures)
Handle these sensors with bare hands or wearing cotton gloves. In addition, wear anti-static clothing or use a wrist band with
an earth ring, in order to prevent electrostatic damage due to electrical charges from friction.
Avoid directly placing these sensors on a work-desk or work-bench that may carry an electrostatic charge.
Provide ground lines or ground connection with the work-floor, work-desk and work-bench to allow static electricity to dis-
charge.
Ground the tools used to handle these sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons.
It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the
amount of damage that occurs.
Element cooling/heating temperature incline rate
When coupled to an FOP, element cooling/heating temperature incline rate should be set at less than 5 K/min.
