Kestrel
Features

The digital Kestrel EMCCD camera is based on e2v's CCD-60 back-thinned 1/3" sensor. It combines high sensitivity, speed and resolution. with QE up to 95%. WIth EM gain on it offers less than one electron read noise. It uses a 16 bit A/D converter and offers a standard CameraLink output. At 500fps, it offers high-performance speed and sensitivity.

Ultra low noise readout with THE FASTEST speeds

  • Up to 500 frames per second –Fast frames rates.
  • 128 x 128 Back-thinned EMCCD sensor –Enables optimum image resolution in low light imaging applications.
  • 16 bit Camera Link output –Realtime imaging for low latency photon to digital image.
  • Up to 95% QE from back-illuminated sensor –Optimum Photon collection.
  • Strong VIS and NIR reponse and ultrawide bandwidth –From 350nm through to 1100nm.
