Photon Technology International, Inc. (PTI) Introduces the ImHD - High Definition Fluorescence Imaging System
(Birmingham, NJ) – October 30, 2011

Prepare for a revolution in High Definition Digital Imaging with PTI’s new ImHD Imaging platform for 2011. Imagine resolving the fine detail structure on Axons and Dendrites along with the cell body and not saturate your camera detection system. This is now possible with a camera dynamic range of 22,000:1. How about streaming 30–100 frames per second to disk at 5.5 megapixels per Image? That is a resolution of 2560 x 2160 pixels. This is 2.5 times higher resolution than full HD television!

The new ImHD is a breakthrough in scientific imaging systems due to its distinctive ability to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and a large field of view—all in one image.

The ImHD includes the DeltaRAM™ X, PTI’s patented high speed monochromator, a Scientific cMOS 5.5 megapixel camera and Warp Drive Imaging™, PTI’s tactile control surface for hands on control of camera exposure times and other experimental parameters. Also included is advanced imaging software and a high performance computer workstation.

Photon Technology International (PTI) is a 25-year-old fluorescence technology company that designs, manufactures and markets proprietary electro-optical instruments. PTI products are used in leading laboratories around the world for research, health care, industrial process, quality control, environmental science and other applications. PTI distinguishes itself from other companies in the photonics industry by devoting its resources exclusively to the technology of fluorescence instrumentation and by providing exceptional technical and application-specific support. With production facilities in the United States and Canada, sales and service centers in North America, the United Kingdom and Germany, and distributors worldwide, PTI has been recognized for innovative technological achievement, outstanding business growth and has sustained its reputation as an industry leader.

PTI is Proud to Introduce the Cooled PMT Housing 920C
PTI’s new PMT housing is an economical, compact, thermoelectrically air cooled housing for any 28 mm diameter side-on PMT. Our new PMT housing offers increased signal to noise enhancement by reducing dark counts of photo multiplier tubes. PMT tubes above 600 nanometers have high dark counts making a cooled housing virtually mandatory. This option for PTI systems makes increased sensitivity affordable and extends useful measurement range to 1200 nm.

The 920C can be purchased as an option for all PTI systems where PMT detection is used, it can also be bought as an upgrade for most existing PTI systems.
