Evolve™ 512 Delta Datasheet Superior Quantitative EMCCD Imaging Specifications Read noise (e- rms) 20 MHz EM Port 10 MHz EM Port Pixel well depth Active area Gain register Bias stability A measurement of the camera stability when no light hits the sensor. A slope of zero would be ideal. See footnote #1. Field uniformity The image quality of the EMCCD is assessed for gradients. A complete lack of any gradient (i.e a flat image) would provide a numerical value of 1.00 See footnote #2. Stabilized cooling temperature Air cooled (@ ambient air 20˚C) - Standard Liquid cooled (@ ambient air 20˚C)...

Evolve™ 512 Delta Datasheet Superior Quantitative EMCCD Imaging Footnotes #1 Bias stability – The imaging stability of the EMCCD camera can be assessed by measuring its output with no light falling on the sensor and measuring the slope of the average intensity. The slope of the average intensity value of a 200 frame sequence (where y=mx+b of the least squares fit) is measured. #2 Field uniformity – Specification was obtained using the following formula: σ(bias)/(σ(bias1-bias2)*.707) ≤ 1.15 #3 Dark current – This is measured in a traditional manner (as with all CCD cameras) by taking a long...
