Frequently Asked Questions

The iXon Ultra 897 Imaging Camera is a high-end imaging device that offers ultimate sensitivity and speed performance for low-light applications such as super-resolution microscopy, single molecule tracking, ion signalling, cell motility, single photon counting, lucky astronomy, and adaptive optics.

The iXon Ultra 897 uses a back-illuminated 512 x 512 frame transfer sensor that has been overclocked to 17 MHz, which enables it to achieve a frame rate of 56 fps (full frame) while maintaining quantitative stability.

The iXon Ultra 897 offers USB 2.0 connectivity, direct raw data access for on-the-fly processing, deep thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C, and industry-lowest clock induced charge noise. It also provides heightened application flexibility with EMCCD and conventional CCD readout modes.

The iXon Ultra 897 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including super-resolution microscopy, single molecule tracking, ion signalling, cell motility, single photon counting, lucky astronomy, and adaptive optics.

The iXon Ultra 897 has 512 x 512 active pixels, a pixel size of 16 x 16 μm, an active area pixel well depth of 180,000 e-, a gain register pixel well depth of 800,000 e-, and a maximum readout rate of 17 MHz. It has a frame rate of 56 - 11,074 fps and a read noise of less than 1 e- with EM gain. It also has a maximum cooling capacity of -100°C.
