Electron Multiplier Camera

The EM-CCD camera model C9100-02 by Hamamatsu Photonics allows for 2000 fold signal amplification by improved on chip electronics. The frame transfer CCD chip features 1000 x 1000 pixels resolution. Due to the frame rate of more than 30 Hz in full resolution this camera is especially suited for imaging quick moving objects. The readout noise is less than one electron (rms) at 14 bit signal depth. Thus extremely low signals can be reliably detected and displayed with high image quality. more
