Exosens Teams Up With Photonscore For Advanced Photon Counting System, LINCam

Exosens, a prominent player in the field of scientific imaging, has recently announced its collaboration with Photonscore, a company renowned for its expertise in time-correlated single photon imaging. This partnership marks a significant step forward in the distribution of LINCam, a state-of-the-art camera system characterized by its picosecond time resolution. LINCam will now be included in Exosens' Photonis-branded scientific imaging product portfolio, enhancing the range of solutions available to researchers and professionals across various disciplines.

Ulrich Laupper, President and Executive General Manager of the Exosens Ultimate Detection Business Unit, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. "We are delighted to partner with Photonscore and add LINCam to our scientific imaging solutions for 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," he stated.

LINCam distinguishes itself as an easy-to-use, event-based camera that boasts high photon counting rates with picosecond time resolution alongside accurate position information. When used with a pulsed light source, LINCam can transform any conventional microscope into a potent lifetime imager.

The partnership is further strengthened by the support from Photonis, a brand under Exosens. Photonis contributes significantly to the LINCam’s performance through the provision of high-time resolution position-sensitive MCP-PMT detectors. These detectors have been optimized to offer high quantum efficiency and low dark rate photocathodes across a broad spectral range. Additionally, the implementation of high linearity and high gain MCPs enhances the dynamic operational range of LINCam.

Yury Prokazov, CEO of Photonscore GmbH, shared his excitement about the partnership. "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 applications where we did not dare enter into before," he remarked.

Photonscore GmbH specializes in simplifying single photon counting for its customers. The company's flagship product, LINCam, is a single photon counting camera that boasts a 100% fill-factor and minimal noise. Serving leading universities and research institutes worldwide, Photonscore's technologies find broad applicability across various fields. The company's innovative contributions have been recognized with several awards, including the 1st Prize in the Hugo-Junkers-Award 2017 for innovative applied research and a nomination as a finalist in the German Innovation Award 2019.

Photonis stands as a leading brand under Exosens, boasting over 85 years of experience in innovating, developing, manufacturing, and selling high-end electro-optical technologies for ion, electron, and photon detection. The Photonis brand portfolio offers advanced photo-detection and low-light condition imaging solutions catering to highly demanding markets such as Defense & Security, Nuclear Safety, Life Science, and Industrial & Non-Destructive testing. With production and R&D sites in Europe and North America, Photonis is internationally recognized as a leading brand and major innovator in its field.
