Andor says it has led the way with EMCCD innovation and the LucaEM range represents a new performance standard in 'workhorse' cameras, making EMCCD technology now available to every laboratory.
Andor Technology will unveil the latest in its range of Luca EMCCD cameras at Laser 2007.
The LucaEM is the latest EMCCD innovation from the company and is a highly cost effective, yet powerful megapixel EMCCD camera.
The LucaEM is said to be particularly suitable for fluorescence microscopy across a range of signal levels.
The camera's EM gain can be turned on when photons become scarce, while for brighter conditions, 'gain off' operation can be selected.
With a one-megapixel sensor and 8x8um pixels, the LucaEM offers high resolution over a large field of view.
This latest EMCCD camera utilises a monochrome megapixel frame transfer EMCCD sensor, providing single photon detection sensitivity and unrestrained QE up to 65% (with enhanced red response) at rapid frame rates, in a TE cooled, compact, USB 2.0 camera platform.
Andor's exclusive RealGain EM gain control offers enhanced user-friendliness and quantitative reproducibility, setting a new precedent in day-to-day EMCCD use.
Colin Coates, Andor's market development manager, says: "Andor introduced the world's first scientific EMCCD camera and have set the standards ever since.
"We have since incorporated our expertise in this technology field into our LucaEM range of price/performance cameras.
"This latest addition to the LucaEM range represents a fantastic upgrade from existing laboratory workhorse cameras.
"The camera offers a flexible, compact solution and is ideal for a diverse range of applications".
An ultra-compact OEM version is also available.
