The ProEM® is a high-resolution, back-illuminated EMCCD with exclusive eXcelon™3 sensor technology providing high sensitivity within the UV-NIR range while reducing etaloning. With spectral rates of up to 20 kHz and single-photon sensitivity, the ProEM is ideal for low-light-level applications such as hyperspectral Raman imaging and single-molecule fluorescence.
- >95% quantum efficiency
- 10 μm pixel size
- 1 megapixel image array EMCCD
- eXcelon™3 technology
- Ultra-high-speed readout and spectra-kinetics
Key Features
High UV-NIR Sensitivity
Taking advantage of eXcelon™3 technology, the ProEM delivers highest sensitivity (>95% QE) within the UV and NIR range, while reducing etaloning, the appearance of fringes attributed to constructive and destructive interference, from the back-illuminated EMCCDs.
Deep Cooling to -90℃
The use of unique vacuum technology allows the ProEM to reach deep cooling of up to -90℃. This delivers ultra-low dark current for long exposure times, with a single input window for maximum sensitivity.
Advanced Frame Transfer Architecture
The ProEM uses frame transfer architecture which eliminates the need for a mechanical shutter, permitting continuous readout of an image or spectrum.
Full-frame imaging rates of up to 34 fps or >3 kHz can be sustained in high speed readout mode, with baseline stability guaranteed within a single count with bias correction.
EM Gain Calibration
The ProEM utilizes the built in OptiCAL – a reference light source providing once-click gain calibration ensuring consistent performance over camera lifetime.
Powered by LightField Software
Powerful and intuitive software with built-in math engine allows for the complete control of cameras and spectrographs, with real-time image analysis and spectral data.
LightField software provides seamless integration of hardware controls and direct data acquisition into programmes such as National Instruments’ LabVIEW® and MathWorks’ MATLAB®. This software also fully supports IntelliCal automated wavelength and intensity calibration.
The ProEM can also be fully controlled by PICAM SDK, eliminating any overhead that can occur when communicating through other development environments.
