iXon EMCCD Cameras

Single Molecule Detection

Single molecule experiments present us with the considerable challenge of utilizing the limited photon budget of dynamic, single fluorescent molecules while simultaneously avoiding photobleaching. Andor iXon EMCCDs have continued to radically outperform sCMOS detectors in this most demanding of low-light applications.

Super-Resolution – SRRF-Stream+

SRRF-Stream+ is the latest version of our real-time super-resolution microscopy functionality that works on compatible Andor cameras. SRRF-Stream+ opens up the possibility of performing real-time super-resolution microscopy on conventional modern fluorescence microscopes. Depending on the image datasets, an improvement in resolution from 2- to 6-fold (50-150nm final resolution) can be expected. The latest version has been revised to provide even better image quality while retaining all the original advantages of SRRF-Stream.

Reduced phototoxicity

The iXon facilitates the use of the lowest possible excitation power while maintaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, thereby minimizing phototoxic effects. No other camera is as adept at preserving the physiological behavior of your cells over extended measurement periods.

Lowest fluorophore concentrations

In fluorescence microscopy, there is a continuous effort to achieve ever-lower fluorophore concentrations to avoid disturbing the physiology of the living cells being studied. The superior sensitivity of iXon facilitates the use of unprecedentedly low marker concentrations, thereby minimizing the "observer effect."

Single Photon Counting

iXon Ultra offers the absolutely lowest noise level possible, providing the degree of differentiation required to reliably detect and register single photon events, ideal for demanding quantum physics applications such as studies involving entangled photons.
