New among EM CCD cameras from Andor with high resolution (1 Mpx) and enlarged field of view. The imaging is up to 3 times faster than previous models (26 FPS at full resolution). Thanks to a very high quantumefficiency, exceeding 90% in the maximum sensitivity range, this camera can capture signals at the single photon level. These properties are desirable when capturing very low intensity signals where other technologies(CCD, sCMOS) are unable to detect the signal at all. Now also available with the extension of the super-resolution SRRF Stream method.
Key Features
- Quantum efficiency of more than 90%
- Resolution of 1024 × 1024 pixels
- 26 frames per second (1 Mpx)
- Crop mode for a maximum frame rate of up to 697 fps
- Very low readout noise when using EM Gain
- Applicable to most microscopes
- Expandable with SRRF - Stream
The sensor of the new EM CCD cameras allows you to select different surface finishes to achieve maximum performance within your specific application:
- Double anti-reflective coating increasing quantum efficiency at wavelengths in the "blue" and "red" regions of the spectrum(EX).
- Fringe suppression" treatment, used to reduce etaloning, which roughens the sensor surface through which the signal passes(EXF, BVF).
- The "Lumogen coating" allows the signal to be sensed in the UV part of the spectrum(Lumogen coating - UVB).
The iXon Ultra cameras push applications with low signal intensity and fast sensing requirements far beyond the capabilities of conventional charge-coupled device(CCD) cameras. In addition, their speed makes them ideal for live cellimaging.
