DATA SHEET
PHOTON COUNTING
I-CCD VIDEO CAMERA
C2741-32A, -35A
1. Higher gain ................ about 10 times higher
2. Lower dark noise ....... about 1/10 lower : using bi-
alkali photocathode
APPLICATIONS
The cameras can be used for luminescence and fluores-
cence applications in a macroscopic or microscopic
imaging system set up.
Gene expression experiments
Colony screening
Detection of gels and blots
Enzyme lmmunoassay
Phagocytosis
DNA hybridization
FEATURES
High spatial resolution
(Typical horizontal center resolution)
Low geometric distortion
Max 2% within inscribed circle
High sensitivity
Single photon counting is possible
Wide effective scanning area
approx. 19.0 mm (H)
14.2 mm (V) (C2741-32A)
approx. 12.7 mm (H)
9.5 mm (V) (C2741-35A)

The C2741-32A, -35A cameras are designed specifically
for imaging at ultra-low light levels. Each camera consists
of an image intensifier including a 1 stage MCP and CCD
camera coupled with a relay lens.
Single photon counting is possible due to superior per-
formance as compared to conventional ICCD Cameras,
for example:
450 TV lines (C2741-32A)
370 TV lines (C2741-35A)
