ProEM®-HS:512BX3
The ProEM-HS: 512BX3 is the most advanced EMCCD camera on the market. It features Princeton Instruments’ patented eXcelon®3 technology which delivers the best combination of sensitivity, fringe suppression and high speed. The high speed 20 MHz, > 60 fps EM mode captures low light, fast kinetics, while a slow scan CCD mode with very low read noise is suited for precision photometry applications. ProEM-HS:512BX3 also features ultra-fast custom CCD readout for >10,000 fps at reduced resolution and linear, absolute EM gain. This camera can be cooled to below -90° C, and the all-metal, hermetic vacuum seals are guaranteed for life – the only such warranty in the industry. ProEM-HS:512BX3 features the latest Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface to allow remote operation over a single cable without the need for custom frame grabbers.
FEATURES
BENEFITS
Patented eXcelon®3 technology
