EMCCD technology, sometimes known as ‘on-chip multiplication’, is an innovative sensor technology first introduced to the digital scientific imaging community by Andor Technology in 2001, with the launch of the high-end iXon EMCCD Camera platform of ultra-sensitive cameras. Essentially, the EMCCD is an image sensor that is capable of detecting and quantifying single photon events without an image intensifier. This is made possible by way of a unique electron multiplying structure built into the chip. Over the years this technology has been refined resulting in the iXon Ultra and Life series that deliver sensitivity that remains unmatched.
