Low Noise
PINS (Princeton Instruments Noise Suppression technology): Princeton
Instruments' engineers have used the next generation electronics to get
the lowest possible noise levels in ProEM. In EM mode, the ProEM delivers
the lowest starting read noise of any camera in the market –an advantage
considering only a small amount of EM gain is required to achieve <1 e-
rms effective read noise.For traditional readout port, the camera delivers
3 e- rms read noise at 100kHz, an unparalleled performance. Now, whether
it is fast or slow application, the ProEM delivers the lowest noise
combination ever to be achieved. Part of the technology also includes
proprietary methods to reduce clock induced charge an unwanted noise
source in EM applications requiring single photon detection. At the heart
of ProEM is a back-illuminated spectroscopy EMCCD that delivers greater
than 90% quantum efficiency and less than 1 e- rms read noise when
electrons generated in each pixel (from the incident photons) via impact
ionization.
Precision
OptiCAL: EM calibration gone optical! A precision light source built into
every camera is used to generate a linearized EM gain map on demand by the
user. In the software, you are controlling the EM gain in absolute steps.
Anti-ageing: EM gain can degrade over time especially when a large gain is
used in high light conditions. ProEM uses every anti-ageing measure
including clock voltage optimization to reduce the effect of ageing. The
deep cooling allows the high voltage clocks to be operated well below the
maximum ratings, while still achieving greater than 1000x EM gain.
ProEM 1600 deliver the highest performance using air, liquid or a
combination thereof. The cameras can be cooled below -90C for the lowest
dark noise. For traditional readout port, the camera delivers 3 e- rms
read noise at 100kHz, an unparalleled performance. Now, whether it is fast
or slow application, the ProEM delivers the lowest noise combination ever
achieved.
