Description
The Newton EMCCD is a cutting-edge spectroscopy camera designed for ultra-sensitive and ultrafast applications. With a sensor width of 25.6 mm and a resolution of 1600 pixels, this camera is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in a variety of spectroscopic environments. It features advanced EM sensor technology that enables the multiplication of charge from each pixel on the sensor before readout, providing single-photon sensitivity. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring high precision and speed, such as chemical mapping, including techniques like SERS, TERS, or luminescence mapping.
One of the standout features of the Newton EMCCD is its ability to maintain negligible dark current through thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C, eliminating the need for liquid nitrogen. The inclusion of dual output amplifiers allows users to switch between conventional High Sensitivity and Electron Multiplying outputs via software, catering to a broad range of photon regime conditions. This flexibility ensures that the Newton EMCCD can meet the demands of various spectroscopic applications, providing both high sensitivity and speed.
Connectivity and integration are seamless with the Newton EMCCD, thanks to its USB 2.0 plug-and-play capability. This feature, combined with the comprehensive and user-friendly Solis software for Spectroscopy, ensures easy control and operation alongside USB-based Shamrock spectrograph systems. Additionally, the Software Development Kit (SDK) facilitates easy integration into complex setups using platforms like Matlab, Labview, Visual Basic, or C/C++, making it a versatile choice for researchers and professionals in the field.

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.
