iXon EMCCD Camera

Features and Benefits

• Fastest Frame Rates Available – iXon Ultra delivers >60% faster frame rates than closest competitor.
• EX2 Technology – Extended QE response, beyond standard back-illuminated.
• Market leading TE cooling to -100 °C - Critical for elimination of darkcurrent detection limit.
• Cropped Sensor Mode - Specialized acquisition mode for continuous imaging with fastest possible temporal resolution (e.g. iXon Ultra offers 595 fps with 128 x 128 cropped region). Use with OptoMask microscope accessory.
• Fringe Suppression Technology - Reduced etalonging in NIR.
• OptAcquire™ - Optimize the highly flexible iXon for different application requirements at the click of a button.
• Count Convert - Quantitatively capture and view data in electrons or incident photons. Applied either in real time or post-processing, Count Convert does this important conversion for you.
• RealGain™ - Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale.
• EMCAL™ - Patented user-initiated self-recalibration of EM Gain.
• Superior EM Quantitative Stability and Baseline Clamp - Essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements, effective even with new iXon Ultra 17MHz readout speed.
• Minimal Clock-Induced Charge - Unique pixel clocking parameters, yielding minimized spurious noise floor.
• UltraVac™ - Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year after year. 7 year vacuum warranty.
• Spurious Noise Filter – Intelligent algorithms to filter clock induced charge events from the background. Real time or post-processing.
• iCam - Unique innovation that empowers the iXon to operate with market-leading acquisition efficiency through 3rd party live cell microscopy software.
• Enhanced Photon Counting Modes – Intuitive single photon counting modes to overcome multiplicative noise. Real time or post-processing.
• ‘2 in 1’ flexibility (897 and 888 model types) - EMCCD for ultra-sensitivity at speed, conventional CCD for longer acquisitions. CCD mode now with ultra-low 3 e^- noise (iXon Ultra 897)
• Direct Data Access (iXon Ultra) – Unique Camera Link output port to facilitate direct access to raw data for on the fly processing, ideal for applications such as adaptive optics.
• USB 2.0 (iXon Ultra) – True universal ‘plug and play’ interface to PC.
