HORIBA’s high spectral resolution EMCCD Scientific Cameras with different image areas are useful for high or multi-track spectroscopy. The cameras can collect more than 1,600 spectra per second at readout rates of up to 3 MHz.
The EMCCD Scientific Cameras have dual EMCCD and CCD readout modes to accommodate a wide variety of light conditions and deep thermoelectric cooling with air or liquid circulation to reduce dark current. The single fused-silica vacuum window reduces reflection losses from UV to near-IR.
