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.
