Princeton Instruments' new ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm is capable of delivering 30 fps at full 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution and <1 e- rms effective read noise, all at 36.67 MHz readout speed. Claimed to be the fastest and highest resolution 1M pixel electron-multiplying CCD camera, its ultrafast custom CCD readout mode is specially designed to deliver more than 4,800 fps with reduced ROI, whereas its special kinetics mode delivers more than 119,000 spectra/sec. The camera’s 10 μm pixel pitch is the optimal size to fully leverage the high resolution afforded by Princeton Instruments’ award-winning IsoPlane 320 spectrograph. Other advanced features of the camera include solid baseline stability and linear EM gain control for precision photometry applications.
The ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10μm is cooled to below -70°C and its all-metal, hermetic vacuum seals carry a lifetime warranty, the only such guarantee in the industry. The camera also features the latest Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface, allowing remote operation without the need for custom frame grabbers. High quantum efficiency (QE) and ultra-low-noise electronics make the camera ideal for demanding low-light-level applications.
The updated spatial and spectral resolution of the new camera enables users to realize the best performance for imaging and spectroscopy applications such as single-molecule detection, astronomy, hyperspectral imaging, phosphor imaging, tomography, and micro-spectroscopy. The IsoPlane spectrographs are claimed to be unique for spectroscopic applications as they can take full advantage of the new camera’s smaller pixels to deliver the best spectral resolution. The 10um pixel ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm camera in concert with IsoPlane-320 delivers 23% better spectral resolution in comparison to any EMCCD camera that features ≥ 13 um pixels.
The camera is fully compatible with Princeton Instruments’ powerful and intuitive LightField software, which provides complete control of camera features via a cutting-edge graphical user interface. For researchers requiring a custom interface, drivers for National Instruments’ LabVIEW and MathWorks’ MATLAB are included, as are free software development kits (SDKs).
