The Retiga ELECTRO CCD camera is a cooled 1.4MP camera specifically designed for the unique challenges of electrophysiology.
The Retiga ELECTRO offers electrophysiologists an ideal solution to imaging challenges commonly
present with other cameras.
- Designed for Electrophysiology
- Vibration and Interference Free
- High Sensitivity – Cooled/Low Noise
Key Features

Advanced Technical Features
The advanced technical features of the Retiga ELECTRO were designed to empower electrophysiologists to image without exogenous noise that pollute recordings.
This is accomplished by coupling regulated fanless cooling and external grounding with FPGA-based intelligent features to correct defective pixels.

High Sensitivity
The Retiga ELECTRO features 75% peak quantum efficiency (QE) and maintains a high QE across commonly used wavelengths in electrophysiology imaging. This is combined with low noise electronics to reveal weakest fluorescence signals.
The Retiga ELECTRO also has an exceptionally low dark current so long stare applications will not suffer in
image quality.

Simple Installation
The Retiga ELECTRO delivers data over the simple, versatile and high-speed USB 3.0 interface. This standard, accepted interface is present on most modern computers, simplifying connectivity.
The Retiga ELECTRO is also supported on the latest Windows operating systems ensuring modern system compatibility.
