Ultra-High-Sensitivity EMCCD Cameras: ImagEM Series
For ultra-low-light imaging in the visible to NIR region, Hamamatsu’s ImagEM electron multiplier CCD (EMCCD) camera has the speed and sensitivity for imaging applications involving ultra-low light, high-speed acquisition, or short exposure time. Hamamatsu’s ImagEM cameras (C9100-13 and C9100-14) offer high-performance imaging for virtually any application in optical microscopy.
Hamamatsu’s ImagEM electron multiplier CCD (EMCCD) cameras (C9100-13 and C9100-14) offer high-performance imaging for virtually any application in optical microscopy. Whether you’re capturing ultra-low-light images that require long integration times or real-time, high frame rate imaging of low-light fluorescence, you can rely on the ImagEM to provide high sensitivity, exceptional stability, and extremely low noise.
- High sensitivity: maximum QE of over 90%, maximum EM gain of 1200x
- High stability: highly stable EM gain, increased offset stability
- Low noise: strictly controlled CCD temperature by water or forced-air cooling, minimal dark noise, low CIC
