Key Features
Optional built-in C-mount compatible shutter
Protect sensor when not in use. Record reference dark images – excellent for optimization of experimental set-up.
Enhanced Baseline Clamp
Essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements. All that should vary is your signal!
Minimal Clock-Induced Charge
Giving lowest EM-amplified 'spurious noise' specification.
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 conventional
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 available
Extended sensor dynamic range (readout speed dependent) and matched digitization (true 16-bit available) for quantization of dim and bright signals.
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.
TE cooling to -100°C
Critical for elimination of EM-amplified darkcurrent detection limit.
High sensitivity 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.
RealGain™
Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale.
Rapid frame rates
512x512 sensor offering up to 35 frames/sec (full resolution). Andor’s rapid vertical shift capability offers distinct speed advantages when operated with binning/sub-array, whilst minimizing vertical smear.
