Request InfoFor TimeHarp 200 TCSPC BoardPicoQuant GmbHBERLIN, Feb. 24 -- A new driver library for custom programming is now available to run the compact and easy-to-use TimeHarp TCSPC board from PicoQuant under Linux 2.6. The shared library and an associated kernel driver thereby support the newest Linux kernel versions. The library supports the same range of functionality as the Windows version: onboard histogramming, multidetector routing with the PRT 400 router and time-tagged time-resolved (TTTR) mode, with or without routing. The new Linux version of the driver library is provided free to owners of any previous release. It allows...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra December 2023 IssueSingle Photon Counting UnitThe PicoHarp 330 from PicoQuant is an event timer and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) unit made for scientific researchers and professionals in photonics and related disciplines....BioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2023 IssueFLIM Camera SystemThe LIFA vTAU from Lambert Instruments is a camera-based system designed to transform fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for live cell applications.
