Synapse EM Camera

EMCCD for low-light and ultrafast spectroscopy

UV-VIS-NIR EMCCDs Camera

EMCCD Camera for OEM Industrial Applications

Key Applications

  • Raman spectroscopy
  • SERS, TERS
  • Bioluminescence
  • Single-molecule spectroscopy
Segment: Scientific
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA Scientific

Key Features and Benefits

  • 1600 × 200 or 1600 × 400 EMCCD sensor  - 16 × 16 μm pixel size for high spectral resolution
  • 25.6 × 3.2 mm or 25.6 × 6.4 mm image area  - Ideal for high-speed or multi-track spectroscopy
  • Back- and front-illuminated - Back-illuminated for high QE or front-illuminated for etalon fringe suppression. 
  • Deep thermoelectric cooling  - Air or liquid circulation to minimize dark current
  • Dual readout modes  - EMCCD or CCD for a broad range of light conditions
  • Readout rates up to 3 MHz  - Acquires more than 1600 spectra per second
  • Single fused-silica vacuum window  - Minimizes reflection losses from UV to near-IR
