LINCam
Single photon detection System
Photon counting is the only way to get as much information brought by light as it is physically possible. Here we present the system allowing to detect not only arrival time of individual photons but also a position as straightforward as camera. Standing on the shoulders of night vision technology LINCam allows to extend any simple wide-field microscope to the powerful fluorescence lifetime imaging system.
Acquisition System
Everything one needs for robust and reliable single photon counting in a single box. The acquisition system integrates TDC, analog to digital converters, power suppliers, reference signal constant fraction discriminator and more. Just plug it to an USB 3.0 port, or connect it to the network of your lab and start counting photons.
