The EMCCD camera from Andor, the iXonEM+ combines photon collection efficiencies of up to 95% QE with single photon sensitivity through virtual elimination of the read noise detection limit. The range offers multiple readout speeds up to 35 MHz, 14 and 16 bit digitisation and benefits from negligible dark current with thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C. Andor's vertical clock parameters ensure that clock induced charge (spurious noise) is low. Rapid vertical clocking ensures the frame rates are fast and smear is minimal.

The Linear EM Gain control of iXonEM+ offers enhanced user-friendliness. Now, the EMCCD gain of the camera can be varied linearly from unity up to maximum gain directly through the software, via a true quantitative EM gain scale. The linear gain calibration is also temperature compensated.

The iXonEM+ is suitable for ultra low-light, dynamic imaging experiments, including: single molecule detection; live cell multi-dimensional microscopy; spinning disk confocal microscopy; intracellular ion signalling; cell motility; bioluminescence/chemiluminescence; adaptive optics; photon counting; neutron radiography/tomography; and multi-spectral (hyperspectral) imaging.
