HORIBA  Scientific, global leader in Optical Spectroscopy systems, launched its new Synapse EM, a deep cooled EMCCD Scientific camera for low light and ultra-fast spectroscopy experiments.

The Synapse EM is available in front and  back  illuminated for optimal quantum efficiency. With a sensor format of  1600 x 200 or 1600 x 400 and a pixel size of 16 microns, the Synapse EM is  the  ideal  candidate  for  high  spectral resolution measurements. The camera  comes  with  a  standard dual readout mode that allows the users to switch  automatically  between  EMCCD  mode  for low light measurements and conventional CCD mode for standard spectroscopy.

The  SynapseEM  comes  with  several  sensor  options  including the QExtra technology.  QExtra technology is available standard in the Synapse EM-BIQX  and  is  an anti-reflective multi-layer coating designed to greatly improve  quantum efficiency of back illuminated sensors over a broad spectral range, while suppressing undesirable etaloning effects.

"With  a  maximum frame rate above 1,600 spectra per second and outstanding linearity,  the  Synapse EM is the ideal EMCCD scientific camera for Raman, SERS/TERS,   multi-track,   transient  and  single  molecule  spectroscopic applications,"  said Eric Teboul, Deputy General Manager and Vice President of  HORIBA  Scientific.  “The addition of this new EMCCD camera complements our  other  lines  of deep cooled, high performing spectroscopic scientific cameras, such as the Syncerity and Symphony II cameras.”
