Exosens Adds Innovative Photon Counting System, LINCam, to its Portfolio of Single Photon Sensitive Detectors

PRESS RELEASE
RODEN, NETHERLANDS – APRIL 9, 2024

Exosens is pleased to announce a partnership with Photonscore, a provider of instrumentation for time correlated single photon imaging. Through this partnership, Exosens will distribute LINCam, an innovative camera system with picosecond time resolution through their Photonis-branded scientific imaging product portfolio.

“We are delighted to partner with Photonscore and add LINCam to our scientific imaging solutions to our potential customers. LINCam is a breakthrough technology that enables fast and accurate time-resolved imaging for a variety of applications, such as biomedical research, material science, and quantum optics. LINCam complements our existing product line and combined will provide a unique value proposition” Ulrich Laupper, President and Executive General Manager of the Exosens Ultimate Detection Business Unit.

LINCam is an easy-to-use event-based camera that counts photons at high-rate with the picosecond time resolution combined with accurate position information. Paired with a pulsed light source, LINCam can turn any conventional microscope into a powerful lifetime imager.

The partnership between Exosens and Photonscore is supported by Photonis, a brand of Exosens, which provides a crucial component of the camera: the high-time resolution position-sensitive MCP-PMT detector. Photonis’ optimized MCP-PMT allows to get the best properties for LINCam performance, by providing high quantum efficiency and low dark rate photocathodes in a broad spectral range and also by implementing high linearity and high gain MCPs to increase the dynamic operational range. As a result of Exosens and Photonscore close technical collaboration, the state-of the art high-time resolution single-photon camera LINCam becomes the optimal solution for widefield microscopy and others high demanding applications.

“At Photonscore we are excited to start a productive partnership with Exosens. Their knowledge and experience in the field of photon detection gave us a big leap in the quality and capability of our system. In particular, the outstanding technology of Hi-QE photocathodes and high-performance MCPs enables us to bring LINCam to the applications where we did not dare enter into before.” Yury Prokazov, CEO, Photonscore GmbH
