Evolve® 512 Delta
EMCCD CAMERA
After years of engineering expertise that perfected every element of the
original Evolve 512 camera, Photometrics continues to push technology
boundaries. The Evolve 512 Delta OEM is the most advanced EMCCD
technology in the Photometrics product portfolio, providing instrumentation
builders a significantly advanced, life science imaging offering.
Designed specifically for demanding super resolution applications, the
Evolve 512 Delta OEM camera delivers an unprecedented new level of speed
and sensitivity. The camera is available with a revolutionary new LightSpeed
mode which maximizes image acquisition rates for dynamic live cell, highspeed events by enabling frame rates of up to 3,000 frames per second (fps)
The Evolve 512 Delta OEM also provides superior quantitative and detection
performance, with accurate and precise triggering capability.
Camera control is provided through the standard Photometrics PVCAM API.
Instrument builders have chosen to offer this camera as a high performance
upgrade to their instruments based on routine PVCAM cameras.
