Product description

High-speed 1024×1024 EM CCD camera with ultra-low noise and deep cooling for quantitative ultra-low light imaging.

The Hamamatsu ImagEM X2-1K (model C9100-24B) is a high-sensitivity back-thinned electron multiplying CCD camera designed for quantitative ultra-low light imaging. It features:

  • Imaging device: Electron Multiplying Back-Thinned Frame Transfer CCD
  • Effective pixels: 1024 × 1024, pixel size 13 μm × 13 μm
  • Full well capacity: Up to 400,000 electrons (EM-CCD readout), max 800,000 electrons (not linear above 400,000)
  • EM gain range: 1×, 10× to 1200× typical
  • Frame rates: 18.5 fps (full frame) up to 314 fps (binned/sub-array)
  • Readout noise: As low as 1 electron rms (EM gain 1200×), varies with pixel clock rates
  • Cooling: Hermetic vacuum-sealed head with forced-air or water cooling achieving temperatures down to -80 °C
  • Dark current: Extremely low, 0.01 electron/pixel/s at -65 °C (air cooled), 0.001 electron/pixel/s at -80 °C (water cooled)
  • Exposure time range: Internal sync 52.7 ms to 2 h, external trigger 10 μs to 2 h
  • Connectivity: IEEE1394b interface for data and control
  • Special features: On-board EM gain protection, multiple external trigger modes, lens mount C-mount, multiple real-time image processing options (background subtraction, shading correction, recursive filtering, frame averaging, spot noise reduction)
  • Physical: Hermetic vacuum-tight camera head maintains 10^-8 Torr without re-evacuation
  • Power: AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, ~140 VA consumption
  • Operating environment: 0 °C to 40 °C, 70% max humidity, no condensation

The camera delivers maximum speed and precision for advanced scientific imaging in near-dark conditions, long integration, or high-speed acquisition scenarios.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
