High Precision Photometry of Quasars

Dr. Niall Smith Cork Institute of Technology

Irish astrophysicist Niall recently returned from Spain's Sierra de Los Filabres mountain range at the Calar Alto Observatory He collected 38-hours of video data of quasars using the Andor FI iXon, highlighting the sensitivity of this camera in low light conditions. Read case study

Novel Microscopy Techniques for Tracking Microtubule Changes iXon Aids in the Search for New Anticancer drugs

Associate research scientists Derek Toomre and Stathis Hadjidemetriou at the Yale University Cellular Imaging Using New Microscopy Approaches (CINEMA) have been exploiting the unique low light capabilities of Andor Technology’s iXon EMCCD detector to study the dynamics of microtubule growth.
