The very best for single-molecule imaging.
Fluorescence Microscopy
We've recently purchased an EMCCD from Andor for our super-resolution fluorescence microscope. The camera works really well for single-molecule imaging applications. I am escpecially happy about the camera since we received an huge discount.

Reputable company, good quality product, communicative
Hyperspectral Raman Imaging
The product was delivered on time, we were able to set it up and interface with the LabView SDK with moderate effort. Aftersales service was performed as promised, someone from Andor trained us and Andor staff have been responsive to our inquiries.

The status of ‘Ultimate Sensitivity’ is also preserved in this model, offering thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C and industry-lowest clock induced charge noise. Additional unique features of the iXon Ultra include USB connectivity and direct raw data access for on the fly processing. EMCCD and conventional CCD readout modes provide heightened application flexibility, with a new ‘low and slow’ noise performance in CCD mode.
Single-Shot Imaging of Bose-Einstein Condensed Photon Gas Using the iXon Ultra 897 EMCCD Camera
This application note describes an experiment where Bose-Einstein condensed photon gas is thermalized to room temperature, and imaged using an EMCCD camera. Bose-Einstein condensation, the macroscopic ground state population of a system of integer spin particles below a critical temperature, has in the last 20 years been observed for cold atomic gases and solid state quasiparticles as exciton polaritons. The most widely known example of a photonic gas, blackbody radiation, however exhibits no Bose-Einstein condensation. The results of this experiment hold prospects for the exploration of novel states of light, e.g. also in periodic potentials, and for light sources in new wavelength regimes.
Observing Giant Atoms Towards Optically Imaging Rydberg Atoms with Single Particle Sensitivity with an EMCCD Camera
Considerable effort has been directed at observing the dynamics of a many-body quantum system with single particle resolution and sensitivity which would allow the realization of quantum simulators able to address fundamental questions about quantum and classical physics. Because of their exceptionally large dipole moments associated with their large size and long-range interactions, highly-excited (Rydberg) atoms in ultracold gases could be used to investigate quantum non-linear optical effects and dipole-mediated energy transport similar to the fundamental process in photosynthesis. This application note demonstrates a new approach to optically image Rydberg atoms based on a nondestructive and state-selective technique.
Using Inverted SPIM (iSPIM) to Study Neural Development in <i>C. elegans</i>
This application note describes the use of a light sheet fluorescence microscopy technique, Inverted Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (iSPIM), to image the neural development of the nematode C. elegans. iSPIM aenables very fast non-invasive imaging of living samples, facilitating the inspection of live neurodevelopmental events and paving the way for a 4D dynamic neurodevelopmental atlas.
New sCMOS vs. Current Microscopy Cameras
Since the launch of imaging cameras that are based on a sCMOS sensor there has been much speculation about whether or not sCMOS will replace for interline CCD and EMCCD cameras. This note provides an analysis of how these sensitive imaging technologies compare.
