Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the ImagEM 1K
C9100-14 EMCCD camera, which offers high resolution, high sensitivity and high
speed imaging for advanced applications. For those situations where ordinary
CCDs or Scientific CMOS cameras are unsuitable, the ImagEM 1K offers the
ultimate solution thanks to a back-thinned EMCCD with Peak Quantum Efficiency
in excess of 90%, combined with the proven ability of Hamamatsu to create cameras of unsurpassed
quality.
The camera can be operated as either an
EMCCD or as a standard CCD camera. In both modes there are multiple settings
available which have been optimised for different applications / readout
speeds, meaning that the ImagEM 1K can do the job of several traditional
cameras. This outstanding versatility represents excellent value for research
lab budgets and is also the reason for its widespread popularity in fluorescence
microscopy, semiconductor and solar cell inspection and pharmaceutical drug
discovery.
The ImagEM 1K guarantees accurate, repeatable
16-bit data acquisition up to 242 frames/sec. With 1M pixels at 13 µm, it is
possible to capture signals with high dynamic range; EM gain of up to 1,200
ensures that even the weakest signals will be visible.
