Imaging Needs

SolutionsGreat instruments don’t create great science, but they are
essential for telling the story. Teledyne QImaging offers theright tool with the Retiga ELECTRO when that story is based onelectrophysiology.

• 75% peak QE combined with low noiseHigh Performance
Low Light Imaging

electronics reveals the weak signals missed byindustrial cameras• Regulated sensor cooling delivers high quality
images for precise electrode placement• 50MHz two port readout delivers a high frame
rate needed for electrophysiology

Designed for• Fanless regulated cooling provides

Electrophysiology

100% vibration-free imaging• Integrated grounding connection forelectrical isolation

The Retiga ELECTRO is a cooled 1.4MP camera with zero vibration
so you can excel at the unique challenges of electrophysiology.
The camera’s advanced technical features were designed toenable the electrophysiologist careful electrode placement,without exogenous noise that pollute recordings.
This is accomplished by coupling regulated fanless cooling,external grounding and FPGA-based intelligent features thatcorrect defective pixels. The result is the only application-specificcamera on the market driven to help you capture your best
electrophysiology data.

• Intelligent Quantification provides advanced
real-time FPGA algorithms to deliver better
Flawless Images

image quality• Defective Pixel Correction (DPC) corrects hot
pixels for high quality images over difficult longexposures

Inside the ELECTRO, Intelligent Quantification™ - on camera
intelligence features, correct defective pixels. Fast 50 MHz pixel
digitization increases camera frame rate to give you the speed
you need to adhere electrodes to the right neuron.
A great camera deserves great acquisition software - it’s the way
you interface with your data. Ocular™ is Teledyne QImaging’s
new imaging platform and it’s included with the ELECTRO. Thesofware is so easy, it will become your go-to capture program
built around controls you are already know.
Scientific cameras are the cornerstone of the highest performing
imaging instruments in a lab. Through careful selection ofimage sensors and components, the ELECTRO will redefine
your expectations for the imaging component of yourelectrophysiology rig. The camera may also be used for moreroutine fluorescence imaging applications. You will not find amore capable electrophysiology camera on the market for thisprice. Contact us to trial one today.
