Request InfoHamamatsu CorporationHamamatsu’s C9016-2x series image intensifier units can play a key role in imaging ultrafast or low-light phenomena by boosting the level of light available to a connected CCD camera. The units include an image intensifier (with GaAsP photocathode or multialkali photocathode), a high-speed gating circuit for electronic shutter operation, a remote control, USB cable and control software. Four models are available. Each can be optically connected to various types of CCD cameras with either fiber coupling or a relay lens. Applications include time-resolved fluorescence imaging of dyed cells...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Sep/Oct 2022 IssueSlide ScannerThe C13220-21MDEU NanoZoomer® S360MD slide scanner system from Hamamatsu is a high-throughput, in vitro diagnostic regulation-compliant model for use in hospitals and clinical laboratories. ...Promoted Content February 2023 IssueExpect More from B&W Tek ExemplarMove past typical high quantum efficiency (QE) spectrometers and find a better solution with the Exemplar® line of spectrometers from B&W Tek.
