iXon Ultra 888 High Speed High Sensitivity EMCCD

summarize

The iXon Ultra 888 has been re-engineered to accelerate full frame rate performance to video rates by overclocking the pixel readout speed by a factor of 3 to 30 MHz while maintaining quantitative stability. In addition, Andor's Crop Mode can be used to further increase the frame rate of user-defined subregions, such as 512 x 512 subarrays to 93 fps and 128 x 128 to 697 fps.

With its 1024 x 1024 chip format and 13μm pixel size, the iXon Ultra 888's resolution, field of view and speed make it an ultra-attractive and powerful EMCCD for a wide range of application needs, such as single-molecule detection, super-resolution microscopy, live-cell imaging, and high time-resolution astronomy.

hallmark

Single Photon Sensitivity & New 'SRRF-Stream' (optional) Overclocking readout speeds follow a dynamic change process. 95%Q Single Photon Sensitivity & > 95%QE

Single Photon Sensitivity & > 95% QE - Optimized signal-to-noise ratio for very low light applications such as single molecule detection and quantum physics.

New 'SRRF-Stream' (optional) - real-time, cellular super-resolution capability: live and fixed cells, fits most existing fluorescence microscopes; super-resolution up to 50nm

Overclocked readout speed - follows a dynamic change process.

Chip Shear Mode - This mode allows for ultra-fast frame rate continuous imaging of a region of interest (ROI) set in the center position and is used for applications such as live cell super-resolution. (e.g. 251fps for 256x256 ROI).

TE cooled to -100°C - eliminates dark current detection limit.

Superior baseline clamp and EM stability - essential for quantitative accuracy of dynamic measurements.

RealGain™ - Provides linear and quantized EMCCD gain.

Low noise CCD mode - '2 in 1' flexibility. EMCCD for ultra-high sensitivity and conventional CCD for longer acquisition times.

EX2 Technology - Extended QE response beyond typical back-illuminated cameras.

Fringe suppression - reduces NIR interference

Upgrades/Accessories
