iXon Ultra and iXon3 EMCCD Camera Series

Core Performance Advantages

Andor’s iXon Ultra and iXon3 EMCCD cameras deliver best performance across these core areas:

  • Fastest Frame Rates – iXon Ultra delivers >60% faster frame rates than closest competitor. Unique cropped sensor mode solution for additional frame rate boost (e.g. 595 fps with 128 x 128 cropped region).
  • Highest Sensitivity EMCCD – Deepest cooling & lowest clock induced charge parameters complement the high QE performance of back-illumination. NEW EX2 Technology offers extended EMCCD sensitivity.
  • Ultimate Longevity – Essential vacuum protection of back-illuminated sensor meaning no QE degradation. Anti-Ageing technology and EMCAL™, a pioneering auto-recalibration of EM gain. Unparalleled long-term performance capability.
  • User Friendliness – iXon remains the most versatile EMCCD camera available. Now, via OptAcquire, it can be optimized for different application requirements with a single click.
  • RealGain™ - Select absolute EM gain direct from a linear and directly quantitative software gain scale. The EM gain you ask for is the EM gain you get.
  • Quantitative Stability - Stabilized EM gain and Baseline (Bias) Clamp ensuring that all that should vary is your signal.
  • Count Convert – iXon comes with the option to convert signal data to units of electrons or photons, either real time or post-converted.
  • Flexibility – Ability to fine tune performance for a wide range of application scenarios. ‘2 in 1’ EMCCD and low noise CCD amplifiers (model dependent).
  • Advanced Performance through Software – iCam encompasses a set of unique innovations that empower iXon cameras to operate with market-leading exposure switching through imaging software packages.
  • Direct Data Access – iXon Ultra offers a unique Camera Link output port to facilitate direct access to raw data for on the fly processing, ideal for applications such as adaptive optics.
