Electron Multiplication CCD Cameras (EMCCD) An electron multiplication CCD camera is a CCD device in which a solid-state electron multiplying register has been added to the end of the normal serial register. The electron multiplying register allows weak signals to be multiplied before readout noise is added by the output amplifier.
