Kestrel

Digital Monochrome Scientific Frame Transfer EMCCD, 500fps, 128 x 128, 24um x 24um pixels, cooled to -20C .


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%. It has strong response from UV through to NIR. With EM gain on it offers less than 1 electron read noise. It uses a 16 bit A/D converter and offers a standard CameraLink output. At 500 fps, 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
