Long Exposure Imaging

Thanks to major breakthroughs in thermal noise control, the Retiga E7 CMOS has an unprecedented ultra-low dark current of <0.001 electrons per pixel per second, allowing for exposure times of over an hour.

Stretching exposure times from seconds to minutes to hours in this manner results in comfortable detection of even the weakest signals, ideal for imaging luminescence.

High Speed Mode

As well as the ‘Long Exposure’ mode, capable of exposures over 60 minutes thanks to the ultra-low dark current, the Retiga E7 also features a ‘Fast Capture’ mode that operates at 51 frames a second across the full 7 megapixel sensor.

Ultimate Flexibility

The Kinetix22 features four modes, allowing users to prioritize different camera specs, optimise imaging, and avoid compromise.

The 8 bit Speed mode offers 498 fps across the full frame, 12 bit Sensitivity mode offers low 1.2 e- read noise while operating at ~90 fps, 16 bit Dynamic range has large full well capacity for varied signal levels in the sample, and 16 bit Sub-Electron mode offers EMCCD like sensitivity with 0.7 e- read noise.

Maximizing Signal Collection

The Kinetix22 back-illuminated camera achieves a near-perfect 95% quantum efficiency.

By bringing the light in from the back of the sensor, photons land directly onto the light receiving surface, maximizing light collecting capability. This allows for the weakest signals to be displayed as high quality image, even if your sample typically only emits a handful of photons.

High Resolution

The Kinetix22 features 6.5 µm x 6.5 µm pixels, the accepted standard for most live cell applications using 40x and 60x magnification.

This pixel size provides highly detailed images across the imaging plane and is most suitable for the broadest range of microscope objectives.
