EMCCD cameras

Cameras for low-light fluorescence imaging

Hamamatsu, Andor and Photometrics offer an ideal range of cameras for optical microscopy applications. Hamamatsu's ImagEM cameras capture ultra-low-light fluorescence images with high sensitivity, exceptional stability and extremely low noise. iXon cameras from Andor represent a dedicated, truly high-end yet accessible ultrasensitive scientific camera platform that maximises EMCCD technology, particularly under fast frame rate conditions. The innovative Quant-View™ feature of the Photometrics Evolve™ camera, meanwhile, makes imaging quantifiable and reproducible.

CCD technology for detecting ultra-low light

CCD technology for detecting ultra-low light

Hamamatsu's ImagEM cameras (C9100-13 and C9100-14) enable the capture of ultra-low-light images that require long integration times or real-time, high frame rate imaging of low-light fluorescence. They provide high sensitivity (over 90% max. QE %, 1200x max. EM gain), exceptional stability (highly stable EM gain, increased offset stability) and extremely low noise (strictly controlled CCD temperature, minimal dark noise, low CIC).

With the iXon EMCCD cameras, Andor has delivered a dedicated, truly high-end, yet accessible ultrasensitive scientific camera platform, designed specifically to drive the absolute best from EMCCD technology across all critical performance specifications and parameters. Andor's iXon design ensures very high sensitivity from a quantitative scientific digital camera, particularly under fast frame rate conditions.

Quantifiable and reproducible imaging

Quantifiable and reproducible imaging

Photometrics Evolve "Intelligent" EMCCD camera makes imaging quantifiable and reproducible with the innovative the Quant-View feature, which provides a repeatable methodology to gather and interpret data by reading out pixel values in photoelectrons. It boasts the lowest dark current available for an EMCCD camera along with very low read noise, superb electron multiplication gain and bias stability and an accurate EM calibration technique.
