TCSPC Devices for Ultra-High Time Resolution Single-Photon Counting
More than 30 Years of Experience in TCSPC and TCSPC FLIM – as technology leaders Becker & Hickl offer TCSPC devices and time taggers with unprecedented time resolution.
The SPC modules can be used for classic and multidimensional fluorescence decay applications as well as for fluorescence lifetime Imaging (FLIM), multi-wavelength FLIM, simultaneous fluorescence- and phosphorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM / PLIM), fast time-series FLIM, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), single-molecule experiments, anti-bunching experiments (HBT), quantum applications, and many other multi-dimensional photon recording tasks.
The SPC-180N is a high-end performance module for fluorescence lifetime imaging micrscopy (FLIM) with high-time resolution. The board can be used for fluorescence lifetime measurements, single molecule spectroscopy, FCS and FCCS recording, FLIM, Mosaic FLIM, FLITS, and combined FLIM / PLIM applications. This module is also the basis of FLIM upgrades for various scanning microscopes.
The SPC-130IN is a high-end performance single photon counting (TCSPC) module with high time resolution down to the ps range at affordable costs. The timing module is the ideal choice for fluorescence lifetime applications and time correlation recording, with highest accuracy providing precise time information.
The SPC-QC-104 TCSPC / FLIM module has three parallel TCSPC / FLIM channels with a common reference channel on a single PCI-express board. Alternatively, the module can be operated with four absolute photon timing channels. The module features high temporal and spatial resolution, high peak count rate, and extraordinarily high timing stability. The SPC-QC-104 offers the usual modes for recording temporal waveforms of optical signals, sequential recording multi-wavelength recording, time- and parameter-tag recording, FLIM, spatial and temporal mosaic FLIM, triggered accumulation of fast time series of curves and images, and simultaneous FLIM / PLIM.
The SPC-QC-004 is a four channel time tagger fully equipped with 4 B&H constant fraction discriminators (CFD). It can be operated with four absolute photon timing channels or with three parallel TCSPC channels with a common reference channel all on a single PCI-express board. The module features high temporal and spatial resolution, high peak count rate, and extraordinarily high timing stability. The SPC-QC-004 offers the usual modes for recording temporal waveforms of optical signals, sequential recording multi-wavelength recording, time- and parameter-tag recording, triggered accumulation of fast time series of curves and simultaneous fluorescence and phosphorecence decay recording.
The SPC-QC-106 TCSPC / FLIM module has five parallel TCSPC / FLIM channels with a common reference channel on a single PCI-express board. Alternatively, the module can be operated with four absolute photon timing channels. The module features high temporal and spatial resolution, high peak count rate, and extraordinarily high timing stability. The SPC-QC-106 offers the usual modes for recording temporal waveforms of optical signals, sequential recording multi-wavelength recording, time- and parameter-tag recording, FLIM, spatial and temporal mosaic FLIM, triggered accumulation of fast time series of curves and images, and simultaneous FLIM / PLIM.
The SPC-QC-008 TCSPC module has eight absolute photon timing channels. Alternatively, the module can be operated with seven parallel TCSPC channels and a common reference channel on a single PCI-express board. The module features high temporal and spatial resolution, extremely high peak count rate (up to 500 MHz), and extraordinarily high timing stability. The SPC-QC-008 offers the usual modes for recording temporal waveforms of optical signals, sequential recording multi-wavelength recording, time- and parameter-tag recording.
The PMS-800 module is the direct successor of the PMS-400A. As a gated photon counter and multiscaler it can be used in luminescence decay of inorganic samples, phosphorescence, delayed fluorescence, chemo luminescence and LIDAR applications. It contains all features of the PMS-400A with a significantly improved time bin width of down to 4 ns, reduced dead-time of 1.25 ns and two additional input channels in a single module.
