FLIM Camera Systems
The Excelitas pco.flim camera system consists of the pco.flim camera and pco.flim laser, with a complete frequency synthesizer, which is required for the generation of the modulation signals in the frequency domain. The pco.flim series features a high frequency modulated CMOS image sensor that enables pixel-wise measurements of sample luminescence lifetime distributions in frequency domain suitable for fluorescence lifetime imaging. At a maximum speed of 10 Hz, full luminescence lifetime distributions can be measured at 1 Mpixel resolution. With flexible coupling and easy setup, the pco.flim is an ideal choice for wide-field FD-FLIM instruments and suitable for a variety of biomedical applications requiring a large frame and high-speed acquisition.
Excelitas stands at the forefront of photonic solutions, offering advanced Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) camera systems designed to meet the highest standards in scientific and industrial applications. Our state-of-the-art FLIM cameras showcase our commitment to innovation, quality, and performance.
Choosing Excelitas means benefiting from our decades of experience, cutting-edge technology, and relentless pursuit of excellence. We pride ourselves on delivering superior imaging solutions that advance research and development, ensuring that our clients have the tools they need to push the boundaries of discovery.
FLIM camera systems measure the fluorescence lifetime of fluorophores in a sample, which is the duration a molecule stays in its excited state before emitting a photon and returning to its ground state. This measurement provides valuable information about the molecular environment, including pH, ion concentration, and molecular interactions. FLIM camera systems utilize advanced sensors and modulation techniques to capture high-resolution, time-resolved images that reveal these lifetime characteristics.
Excelitas offers a premier FLIM camera system designed to meet diverse imaging needs through our PCO. flim X. This system is the latest advancement in the frequency domain (FD) FLIM camera technology, featuring a fast modulatable CMOS sensor with two readout taps per pixel. This innovative system provides improved cooling, achieving -5°C with forced air cooling and -20°C image sensor temperature with water cooling.
The reduced readout noise level below 15 [e-] and extended usable exposure times to 4 seconds instead of 2 seconds make the pco.flim X is the most advanced FLIM camera system on the market. It boasts the largest resolution of 1008 x 1008 pixels and the highest maximum frame rate of 45 double images per second, setting a new benchmark for FLIM camera systems.
