<\/a><\/p>\nFive different photocathodes can be incorporated into the PMA Hybrid to meet the user’s needs. The PMA Hybrid 06 and 07 are sensitive in the UV and in the blue spectral region. High detection efficiencies in the visible spectrum (up to 45 % at 500 nm) are achieved with the PMA Hybrid 40. For applications using light at longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum and in the NIR, the PMA Hybrid 42 and 50 are the best choices.<\/p>\n
Timing down to 50 ps, negligible afterpulsing<\/strong><\/p>\nAll PMA Hybrid detectors have a very good timing resolution that can even reach values down to 50 ps (FWHM) for the blue sensitive version. In contrast to other detector types, afterpulsing is negligible. This special features makes the PMA Hybrid especially suited for e.g.,\u00a0Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), where the afterpulsing peak at early lag times often complicates the analysis of the autocorrelation function.<\/p>\n
Large active area of several mm<\/strong><\/p>\nThe PMA Hybrid interfaces directly with all PicoQuant TCSPC products such as the\u00a0TimeHarp 260,\u00a0PicoHarp 300\u00a0or\u00a0HydraHarp 400. Due to its large active area of up to 6 mm, the detector can be connected to spectrometers such as the\u00a0FluoTime 300. It can also be attached to\u00a0Laser Scanning Microscopes\u00a0in Non-Descanned Detection (NDD) setups via the C-mount adapter. Integration in descanned detection mode or other systems, such as the confocal time-resolved microscope\u00a0MicroTime 200\u00a0is also possible.<\/p>\n
