Frequently Asked Questions

The Newton 971 EMCCD Camera is a laser instrument that combines a 1600 x 200 (or 1600 x 400) array of 16 μm pixels, thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C for negligible dark current, 3MHz readout and USB 2.0 plug-and-play connectivity to provide unrivalled performance for spectroscopic applications.

EM sensor technology enables charge from each pixel to be multiplied on the sensor before readout, providing single photon sensitivity. This results in a read noise of less than 1e-.

The Newton 971 EMCCD Camera has a maximum cooling temperature of -100°C, which results in negligible dark current without the inconvenience of LN2.

The dual output amplifiers allow software selection between either a conventional High Sensitivity or Electron Multiplying outputs to suit a broad range of photon regime conditions. The High Sensitivity output is for low light conditions, while the Electron Multiplying output is for ultra low light conditions.

The Newton 971 EMCCD Camera can achieve the highest possible spectral rates of over 1,500 spectra per second in Crop Mode operation.
