ProEM®-HS:1KBX3-10µm
The ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm is the fastest EMCCD camera on the market utilizing the latest low-noise readout electronics and a 1024 x 1024 EMCCD. This camera delivers single photon sensitivity and the best fringe suppression with patented eXcelon3 technology.This high speed, high resolution camera features 36.67 MHz readout speed with the EM gain mode to deliver 30 fps at full resolution and <1 e- rms effective read noise, as well as other advanced features including solid baseline stability and linear EM gain control for precision photometry applications. The ultra-fast custom CCD readout mode is specially designed to deliver greater than 4,800 fps with reduced ROI, whereas the special spectra kinetics mode delivers > 119,000 spectra/sec. The ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm camera is cooled to below -70°C, and the all-metal, hermetic vacuum seals have a lifetime warranty – the only such guarantee in the industry. This camera also features the latest Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface allowing remote operation, without the need for custom frame grabbers. High QE and ultra-low-noise electronics make the ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10um camera ideal for demanding, low-light level applications such as astronomy and Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) imaging.

Experimental conditions:Atomic emission lines were acquired using the Princeton Instruments IsoPlane-320 imaging spectrograph with 10 µm wide slits and a 1200 gr/mm grating.
The ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm camera features 10x10µm pixels for improved spatial and spectral resolution. For spectroscopic applications, the IsoPlane-320 is the only spectrograph that can take full advantage of 10µm pixel resolution due to totally aberration-free design. The graph above shows a comparison of spectra taken with 13x13µm pixels vs. smaller pixels in the ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm camera. With 10µm pixel camera, the IsoPlane-320 achieved a 23% improvement in spectral resolution. The ProEM-HS:1KBX3-10µm and IsoPlane spectrographs are ideal for microspectroscopy applications.
