Commercial response :

Hi Vitaly,

I don't think it exists unfortunately, and you might have to settle on
either small pixels or back thinned sensitivity if you stay with EMCCD.
I sell the FALCON EMCCD camera from Raptor Photonics. It is not back
thinned, it has 8 x 8 micron pixels, QE goes up to 65 % and it is a 1K x 1K
sensor. Sensitivity allows good performance for most applications and it is
a very cost effective camera.

If that is of interest to you, we can talk about it off the list !

Dear All,

We are looking for a highly sensitive EM-CCD camera but with small pixels (8
um) and the back-thinned one. I have already received endless suggestions
around "scientific" CMOS cameras, but I am a bit stubborn, as you have
probably already realized. And/or, is there anything cooler then CMOS? I
like Canon 1D X and Nikon D800, and the latter seems to be a proper place
for CMOS...

Cheers,

Vitaly
