EMCCDs charge-coupled devices

Back illuminated, frame transfer electron-multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD) camera (such as Photometries Cascade II 512, Roper Scientific, Tuscon, AZ). Back illuminated EMCCD cameras capture more than 90% of incoming photons and amplify signals to overcome instrument noise.
