Falcon II EMCCD Digital Monochrome
Scientific Frame Transfer EMCCD
The digital FALCON II EMCCD camera is based on e2v’s CCD-
201 back-thinned 1″ sensor. It combines high sensitivity,
speed and resolution with QE up to 95 %. It has strong response
from UV through to NIR. With EM gain on it offers
less than 0.01 electrons read out noise. It uses a 16 bit A/D
converter and a standard CameraLink output.
Advantages
• 1024 x 1024 Back-thinned EMCCD sensor – Enables
optimum image resolution in low light imaging applications
• EMCCD technology – Highest sensitivity imaging
with up to 1000x on-chip gain
• Fused Silica window – enhanced transmission down
to 180 nm
• 16 bit CameraLink output – Realtime imaging for low
latency photon to digital image
• Up to 95 % QE from back-illuminated sensor – Optimum
Photon collection
• Strong UV and NIR reponse and ultrawide bandwidth
– From 200 nm through to 1100 nm
• Deep cooled to -95 °C – For minimal background events
