Andor's EMCALTM v2.0 self-recalibration process, downloadable direct from Andor's website, is very easily initiated by the user. At the touch of a button, a routine is triggered that measures EM gain and uses the iXonEM+ in-built temperature compensated linear gain scales to reset the EM gain calibration (if required), to deliver the true values requested on the software scale. EMCALTM markedly enhances the day-to-day quantitative reliability of the technology, and circumvents the need to return back-illuminated EMCCD cameras to the factory for recalibration.
Dr Colin Coates, Market Development Manager at Andor, said "The fact that the EMCALTM calibration check is an on-site process, requires little effort and can be applied regularly, means that users of Andor's back-illuminated EMCCDs will not have to feel restricted by the EM gain ageing phenomenon. EMCALTM offers great peace of mind to multi-user imaging facilities and laboratories in particular."
Notes to the editors:
The EMCALTM software is available directly from the 'Downloads' section of www.andor.com. Extensive EMCCD longevity testing has been performed on an Andor's iXonEM+ back-illuminated EMCCD technology. Full details of test conditions and EM Gain decay can be viewed in this technical note: http://www.andor.com/pdfs/longevity_in_emccds.pdf
