Luca-R Digital Microscope Camera

Key Features

High sensitivity 'virtual phase' EMCCD

Single photon EMCCD sensitivity combines with virtual phase QE technology, which yields front-illuminated QEmax. of 65%. Responsivity extends extremely well into the red/NIR wavelength region, as well as into the UV region.


USB 2.0

Universal ‘Plug and play’ connectivity


Compact

The most compact scientific digital EMCCD on the market. ‘Extreme-compact’ OEM version also available.


Enhanced Baseline Clamp

Essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements. All that should vary is your signal!


Application Flexibility

Operate ‘gain off’ for conventional CCD operation under brighter conditions – apply EM gain when the photons become scarce!


Auto Dynamic Range

Pre-amplifier gains are automatically tuned to enable maximum dynamic range with EM gain on or off.


RealGain™

Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale.


iCam

Unique innovation that empowers the EMCCD to operate with market-leading acquisition efficiency through live cell microscopy software such as NIS-Elements.


>12 frames/sec

Follow dynamic live cell processes with good temporal resolution. Faster with sub-array/binning.


Megapixel sensor format

1 megapixel format offers a great balance of field of view and resolution.


Extended red response

Offering significantly higher sensitivity to red-emitting dyes such as CY5, mCherry, dsRed and Alexa680.


8µm square pixels

Small pixel size offering good Nyquist oversampling of the diffraction limit without seriously restricting well depth or photon collection area.
