EMCCD digital camera Photon etc
CIC < 0.001 e-/pixel/image

Photon etc. is developing the world’s most sensitive EMCCD camera. Based on a new CCD controller for counting photons (CCCP) , this camera will be more precise and less time-consuming in low luminosity applications as astronomy. This camera will not only help to understand better the depths of the universe but also to perceive weak optical signals coming from the human body. These signals can reveal the early signs of several diseases such as macular degeneration and certain types of cancer.

Photon etc's CCD controller counts photons at low intensity by decreasing considerably noises from EMCCD camera. The world's most sensitive astronomical camera has been developed based on this optimized controller for EMCCD camera! The high precision of its electrical signals decreases the noise from Clock-Induced Charges (CIC) while keeping fast readout. Even at high gain, better EMCCD signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained which allows precision and is less time-consuming for many applications such as astronomy and some medical imaging.
