The ImagEM-1K is a brand new member of the C9100 camera series. Combining our decades of experience with high vacuum technology and all the latest advances in CCD circuit design this new camera offers application independent imaging. From the very brightest high dynamic range applications to single photon imaging over long integrations, this camera provides images with the very best signal to noise ratios. The key to this versatility is the E2V CCD97 CCD and Hamamatsu creative engineering. New methods for driving this well known CCD offer special modes of operation for fast, low noise operation and special patent pending synchronization with spinning disk confocal and multi-point confocal microscopes.

With both on-chip multiplication and normal CCD readout amplifiers, a choice of readout speeds is included to match the signal to noise requirements of the application. New on-board signal processing features provide a choice of real time frame averaging, background subtraction with offset and shading correction. Unmatched cooling and cooling stability provided the very best in quantitative data collection even at high frame rates.

And now the new ImagEM-1K offers a high resolution format of 1024 x 1024 pixels and 13 mm pixels for high N.A. imaging.
