The new generation of electron multiplication (emCCD) CCD sensors is integrated into the proven sensicam camera system. With this on-chip multiplication of the light signal the readout noise of the camera can be neglected (< 1 e- rms @ gain > 50). With its excellent resolution of 1004 x 1002 pixel this high performance cooled digital 12 bit CCD camera system is best suited for extremely low light camera applications. The system features thermo-electrical cooling of the image sensor (delta of -45 °C vs. ambient temperature) and an outstanding quantum efficiency (up to 65 %) achieving a high spectral sensitivity in general and especially in the NIR. Exposure time modes (software selectable) range from 75 µs - 1h. A high speed serial data link connects the system to the PC (fiber optic link available).

This low light emCCD camera system is perfectly suited for scientific imaging (e.g. microscopy, bio marker and label imaging) and for night vision applications.
