I've used the DU885 and can confirm it works fine with
Micro-Manager. But I would second Nico's comments about the lower
QE of the DU885.

Hi Liang,
I am
wondering if anyone has experience with Andor EMCCD
DU885 and/or DU897.
How is their performance with MM?
How s/n of DU885 2x2 binning
comparing DU897?
I can only comment about the DU897 since I do not have
direct experience with the DU885. The DU897 works very
well with Micro-Manager. The only feature that currently
does not work is cropped mode (I hope that Andor will have
a look a this soon). The DU885 uses a front-illuminated
chip and therefore has a significantly lower QE than the
DU885.
The choice between these two camera really depends on
what you intend to do with them. For single molecule
imaging, I would certainly go with the DU897. Even for
imaging cells using spinning disk confocal, we are very
happy with cameras that use the same chip as the DU897.
If you want a wider field of view combined with fast
imaging and low noise you may want to consider the
scientific CMOS cameras that are now offered by several
companies (warning: these cameras are very new and
flawless integration in a microscope system - including
Micro-Manager support - can not be guaranteed).
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nico
