iXon 888 Digital Microscope Camera

Key Features

High sensitivity Megapixel EMCCD

Silent’ noise floor perfectly complements the single photon sensitivity and back-illuminated QE performance (> 90%). Ideally matched to low background imaging modalities such as confocal, TIRF and luminescence detection.


Large Field of View

The 1024x1024 format and 13 micron square pixel size, results in a 13.3 x 13.3mm sensor area, a field of view > x2.6 that of the 897 model.


TE cooling to -95°C

Critical for elimination of EM-amplified darkcurrent detection limit.


Minimal Clock-Induced Charge

Giving lowest EM-amplified 'spurious noise' specification.


Enhanced Baseline Clamp

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


RealGain™

Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale


EMCAL™

Innovative user-initiated self-recalibration of EM Gain.


UltraVac™

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


iCam

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


Selectable amplifier outputs - EMCCD and conventio

Highly flexible camera optimized for both fast ultra low-light imaging and ‘bright-field’ or conventional fluorescence imaging.


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.
