Stanford Photonics, Inc. supports the life science marketplace with high-speed, high-sensitivity intensified CCD cameras with gated power supplies down to 50-100 ns and options for shorter gate widths and higher repetition rates (5 ns widths; 200 KHz rep rates).

SPI has applied its TURBO–ZTM cameras, proprietary image acquisition software, and QC pulse generators to demanding applications requiring precise timing & gating control:

Generation of multiple gates/strobes to create 2-4 snapshots of one micron fluorescent beads through 10 micron diameter blood vessels in-vivo at frame rates of 120-1000 fps in order to derive more accurate ensemble information about flow profiles and velocities in the microvasculature.

Time-resolved fluorescence imaging of lanthanide labels in Zebra fish using triggered excitation and camera gate controls at points in time where native autofluorescence from non-specific structures is quenched and only long time constant lanthanide label emission is detected.

SPI chose QC products for the precision, flexibility, cost, software control capability, and positive support early on in project stages.
