Market leading back-illuminated EMCCD, now over 60% faster!
Facilitated by a fundamental redesign, the NEW iXon Ultra platform takes the popular back-illuminated 512 x 512 frame transfer sensor and overclocks readout to 17 MHz, pushing speed performance to an outstanding 56 fps (full frame), whilst maintaining quantitative stability throughout.
The status of ‘Ultimate Sensitivity’ is also preserved in this model, offering thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C and industry-lowest clock induced charge noise. Additional unique features of the iXon Ultra include USB connectivity and direct raw data access for on the fly processing. EMCCD and conventional CCD readout modes provide heightened application flexibility, with a new ‘low and slow’ noise performance in CCD mode.
The significant speed boost offered in the iXon Ultra 897 facilitates a new level of temporal resolution to be attained, ideal for speed challenged low-light applications such as super-resolution microscopy, single molecule tracking, ion signalling, cell motility, single photon counting, lucky astronomy and adaptive optics. The extremely low noise of the iXon 897 coupled with the new overclocked speed performance will place this model at the forefront when it comes to upgrading the high end imaging performance of your laboratory.
The iXon Ultra 897 comes with 3 options for sensor types. Please select the sensor which best suits your needs.
BV: Back-illuminated, mid-band AR coated sensor UVB: Back-illuminated, UV coated sensor BB: Back-illuminated, blue optimized AR coated sensor
The iXon Ultra 897 with BV sensor is supplied with an AR coated Quartz window as standard, optimized for the 400 to 900 nm. The UVB and BB models are supplied with an uncoated Quartz window.
The following alternative window choices are available and must be ordered at time of build (if selected):
WIN-35MM-250/450-W: Quartz window, AR coated for 250-450 nm. 97% transmission at 260 nm WIN-35MM-600/1100-W: Quartz window, AR coated for 600-1100 nm. 98% transmission at 1000 nm No alternative window.
The iXon Ultra 897 also requires one of the following software options:
