Luca-R EMCCD Camera

 Luca-R utilizes a monochrome megapixel frame transfer EMCCD sensor, providing single photon detection sensitivity and unrestrained QE (65% max), in a TE cooled, USB 2.0 camera platform. Andor's exclusive RealGain^TM EM gain control offers enhanced user-friendliness and quantitative reproducibility, setting a new precedent in day-to-day EMCCD use. The megapixel EMCCD sensor with 8x8µm pixel size is ideally suited to high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, particularly of photo-sensitive living cells. The extended red QE response of Luca-R is optimally matched to popular red-emitting fluorophores.
 
 Andor's Luca family represents the latest Electron Multiplying CCD innovation, a highly cost-effective yet powerful digital microscope camera making EMCCD available to every laboratory. Luca represents a new performance standard in 'workhorse' cameras. Operate EM gain off for conventional CCD operation under brighter conditions - turn on the EM gain when the photons become scarce.
