We developed a camera with a 264 × 264 pixel pnCCD of 48 μm size (thickness 450 μm) for X-ray and optical
applications. It has a high quantum efficiency and can be operated up to 400 / 1000 Hz (noise≈ 2:5 ē ENC
/ ≈4:0 ē ENC). High-speed astronomical observations can be performed with low light levels. Results of test
measurements will be presented. The camera is well suitable for ground based preparation measurements for
future X-ray missions. For X-ray single photons, the spatial position can be determined with significant sub-pixel
resolution.
