Leading EMCCD camera just got better
Ixon range has had a profound influence on photon-starved imaging applications from live cell microscopy and single molecule detection to photon counting astronomy and Bose Einstein condensation
The LucaEM is said to be particularly suitable for fluorescence microscopy across a range of signal levels.
The camera's EM gain can be turned on when photons become scarce, while for brighter conditions, 'gain off' operation can be selected.
With a one-megapixel sensor and 8x8um pixels, the LucaEM offers high resolution over a large field of view.
This latest EMCCD camera utilises a monochrome megapixel frame transfer EMCCD sensor, providing single photon detection sensitivity and unrestrained QE up to 65% (with enhanced red response) at rapid frame rates, in a TE cooled, compact, USB 2.0 camera platform.
Andor's exclusive RealGain EM gain control offers enhanced user-friendliness and quantitative reproducibility, setting a new precedent in day-to-day EMCCD use.
Colin Coates, Andor's market development manager, says: "Andor introduced the world's first scientific EMCCD camera and have set the standards ever since.
"We have since incorporated our expertise in this technology field into our LucaEM range of price/performance cameras.
"This latest addition to the LucaEM range represents a fantastic upgrade from existing laboratory workhorse cameras.
"The camera offers a flexible, compact solution and is ideal for a diverse range of applications".
An ultra-compact OEM version is also available.
