Slicing the UniverseCCDs for MUSE
  • MUSE (Multi Unit Spectral Explorer) is built by a
    consortium of European institutes(ESO,
    Göttingen, Leiden, Lyon, Toulouse, Zürich).
  • 2nd generation instrument for the VLT.
  • Integral field spectrometer for the Nasmyth
    focus.
  • 24 Integral Field Units (IFU).
  • 24 cryostats with one 4k x 4k CCD attached to
    IFUs.

3
Compact CCD Head
  • Low Frequency Pulse Tube Cooler.
  • Standard head for future ESO instruments.

4
New General detector Controler (NGC)
Cascode CCD Buffer Stage 2x gain of single buffer Differential output NGC configuration One board per detector
