Sensitivity to Blue Wavelength Photons
 |
Andor Technology announced the launch of their new iXonEM Blue EMCCD (Electron Multiplying CCD) camera. This latest addition to the family of low light imaging cameras is based around a blue-enhanced variant of a popular 512x512 back-illuminated EMCCD sensor, and is engineered to deliver up to greater than 20% additional sensitivity to blue wavelength photons.
Since the first scientific EMCCD cameras in 2001, the technology has rapidly evolved to become a standard in ultra-sensitive imaging. iXonEM Blue, which offers enhanced QE performance between 300nm to 470nm, benefits from all of the leading performance attributes, including -100 °C thermoelectric cooling, industry fastest frame rates, lowest spurious noise floor, RealGain calibration of EM gain control and advanced quantitative stability.
Dr Colin Coates, Product Manager within Andor Technology, said; "We are delighted to add the iXonEM Blue to our range of high end EMCCDs, which already have a well established reputation for superior performance and reliability. Customer feedback has indicated that this blue-enhanced single photon sensitive camera will be put to good use across a number of specific applications, including ultra-cold ion imaging, luminescence detection and calcium signalling."
