EMCCD Cameras
Kestrel EMCCD Digital Monochrome
Scientific Frame Transfer EMCCD
The digital Kestrel EMCCD camera is based on e2v’s CCD-60
back-thinned 1/3″ sensor. It combines high sensitivity, speed
and resolution. with QE up to 95 %. It has strong response
from UV through to NIR. With EM gain on it offers less than
0.01 electrons read noise. It uses a 16 bit A/D converter and a
standard CameraLink output. At 500 fps in full resolution, it
offers some of the fastest and most sensitive speeds available
on the market.
Advantages
• 500 frames per second – Full resolution speed making
it the fastest EMCCD on the market
• 128 x 128 Back-thinned EMCCD sensor – Enables
optimum image resolution in low light imaging applications
• 16 bit CameraLink output – Realtime imaging for low
latency photon to digital image
• Up to 95 % QE from back-illuminated sensor – Optimum
Photon collection
• Strong UV and NIR reponse and ultrawide bandwidth
– From 180 nm through to 1100 nm
• Deep cooled to -95 °C – For minimal background
events
