FeaturestBenefits
EM gain

Very high sensitivity
Low-noise, impact-ionization process

Back-illuminated EMCCD

CCD97 or CCD97-X (with eXcelon technology), highest available quantum efficiency (>90% peak QE)

512 x 512 imaging array
16 x 16-μm pixels

Optimized field of view and highest sensitivity

Intelligent FPGA design

Precise linearization of EM gain
Self-calibrating linearization ensures truly quantitative data consistently, time and again
Ensures bias stability to guarantee a stable background

PAR feedback system
(Photometrics Active Regulation)

Delivers unsurpassed EM gain stability for outstanding signal fidelity across 16 bits

ACE technology
(Advanced Clocking Enhancement)

Pixel-clock timing resolution 12x better than other EMCCD cameras
Provides lowest noise floor and minimizes generation of spurious charge and background events

10-MHz readout

Excellent for high-speed image visualization

5- and 1-MHz readout

Perfect for high-precision photometry

Dual amplifiers

Select readout mode via software for optimized (1) high-speed / high-sensitivity performance (EM)
or (2) wide-dynamic-range performance (traditional CCD mode)

16-bit digitization

Wide dynamic range allows detection of bright and dim signals in the same image

Frame-transfer EMCCD

100% duty cycle to collect continuous data
No mechanical shutter required

C- mount

Easily attaches to microscopes, standard lenses, or optical equipment

Turbo-1394 interface
(IEEE-1394a)

Universally accepted interface that provides high-bandwidth, uninterrupted data transfer with no dropped frames
Windows® XP/7

PVCam®
Circular buffers
Device sequencing

Supported by numerous third-party software packages
Real-time focus
Precise integration with shutters, filter wheels, etc.
