Andor iXon Ultra 897 EMCCD Camera
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.
Key Features
Optional built-in C-mount compatible shutter
Enhanced Baseline Clamp
8µm square pixels
Small pixel size offers good Nyquist oversampling of the diffraction limit without seriously restricting well depth or photon collection area.
31 frames/sec
35MHz readout speed enables this very fast frame rate of the full megapixel resolution. 2x2 binning (to 16μm square pixels) yields 60 frames/sec
TE cooling to -95°C
Critical for elimination of EM-amplified darkcurrent detection limit
UltraVac™
Critical for sustained vacuum integrity and to maintain unequalled cooling and QE performance, year after year
iCam
RealGain™
Absolute EMCCD gain selectable directly from a linear and quantitative scale
Megapixel sensor format
1 megapixel format offers a great balance of field of view and resolution, without sacrificing frame rate.
High sensitivity 'virtual phase' EMCCD
Single photon EMCCD sensitivity combines with virtual phase QE technology, which yields front-illuminated QEmax. of 65%. Responsivity extends extremely well into the red/NIR wavelength region, as well as into the UV region.
