Boost

The SPOT™ BOOST™ BT1900 back illuminated EMCCD camera has single photon detection capability without an image intensifier, combined with greater than 90% QE of a back illuminated sensor. Containing a 128x128, 256x256 or 512x512 L3VisionTM Frame Transfer CCD sensor from E2V Technologies, it utilizes a unique electron multiplying structure that is built into the silicon. This enables charge from each pixel to be multiplied on the sensor before it is read out, while utilizing the full QE performance of the CCD sensor. This camera is capable of greater than 500 full frames/sec, with much faster speeds available through use of sub-array and/or binning. The system offers up to 10 MHz pixel readout rate and benefits from negligible dark current with unequaled thermoelectric cooling down to –100°C.
