iXon 860 Digital Microscope Camera

Key Features

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.


Fast vertical shifts (parallel shifts)

Affords minimization of vertical smear during frame transfer as well as faster frame rates during sub-array/binning. Also results in reduced Clock Induced Charge (spurious) noise.


High dynamic range and 16-bit digitization availab

Extended sensor dynamic range (readout speed dependent) and matched digitization (true 16-bit available) for quantization of dim and bright signals.


Enhanced Baseline Clamp

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


UltraVac™

Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year after year.


TE Cooling to -100°C

Critical for elimination of EM-amplified darkcurrent detection limit.


High sensitivity EMCCD

Single photon sensitivity and back-illuminated QE performance (> 90%), maximizes signal/noise associated with very short exposures.


515 frames/sec

Ideal for following low light events with high temporal resolution, such as ion flux changes or rapid cell motility. Sub-millisecond biology accessible through sub-array/binning selection.
