Features & Benefits:

Single Photon Sensitive & > 95% QE – Optimal SNR in light starved applications such as single molecule detection and quantum physics.
NEW ‘SRRF-Stream’ (optional) – Real time, cell super-resolution functionality. Living and fixed cells, works on most modern fluorescence microscopes. Super-resolution down to 50nm.
Overclocked readout speeds – Follow dynamic changing processes.
Crop Mode – Continuous imaging with fastest possible frame rate from centrally positioned ROIs. Highly enabling for live cell superresolution and much more (e.g. 251 fps with 256 x 256 ROI).
TE cooling to -100°C – Elimination of dark current detection limit.
Superior Baseline Clamp and EM Stability – Essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements
RealGain™ – Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale.
Lower Noise CCD Mode – ‘2 in 1’ flexibility. EMCCD for ultra-sensitivity at speed, conventional CCD for longer acquisitions.
EX2 Technology – Extended QE response, beyond standard back-illuminated.
Fringe Suppression – Reduced etaloning in NIR.
