Short description                           

In many investigations the light intensity is so small that the image appears no more as continuous structure, but consists of spatial and temporal separated photons (zoom picture, left). Only by accumulation of many such single frames, it is possible to receive an image in a common sense.

These small light intensities cannot be seized with conventional video cameras. Even special slow-scan cameras have a too small sensitivity by dimensions for detection of these small photon rates, despite cooling  for long time integration. The use of these cameras also complicates the handling and additionally they are very cost-intensive.

The i.SPI-System is an image capturing system for detection of intensities which are smaller than 10^-5 photons/s/pixel.

It consists of a digital 10-bit FireWire camera, which is coupled with a lens optic to a single- or two-stage image intensifier. It also includes image processing software.

Our Single Photon Imaging System is 1000.000 times more sensitive than other CCD camera systems.
