Uses the SciMeasure Analytical Systems, Inc., camera:


  • 80 x 80 pixels
  • Full-frame, frame rate: 2,000 Hz
  • 3x3-binning, frame rate: 5,000 Hz
  • Back-illuminated for high quantum efficiency (90% at 650 nm)
  • Cooled CCD: for low dark noise
  • Read Noise
    2,000 Hz: 20 e-
    1,000 Hz: 11 e-
    125 Hz: 5 e-
    40 Hz: 3 e-
  • Large well size: 300,000 e-
  • Digitization: 14 bits standard; 16-bits optional (slower frame rate)
  • No fan
  • Frame transfer to minimize smear: transfer time 7 micro-seconds
  • The SciMeasure camera uses the outstanding Marconi CCD39-01 CCD chip


Simultaneous optical and 8 channels of electrical recording.

Optical coupler to reduce objective image to the size of the CCD chip.
Comprehensive, user-friendly software designed for neurobiologists, physiologists and biophysicists.
Computer control of shutter and stimulator.
