Camera Offers High Resolution, High Sensitivity and High Speed Imaging

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.
