Neo sCMOS Camera

Features and Benefits

• 1 e^- read noise - Offers lower detection limit than any CCD.
• TE cooling to -40° C - Minimization of dark current to maintain low noise advantage under all exposure conditions. Minimization of hot pixel blemishes meaning more useful pixels. Fan-off mode for vibration sensitive set-ups.
• 5.5 megapixel sensor format and 6.5 μm pixels - Delivers extremely sharp resolution over a 22 mm diagonal field of view: Ideal for cell microscopy and astronomy.
• Rolling and Global (Snapshot) shutter - Maximum exposure and readout flexibility across all applications. Snapshot for ‘interline CCD mode’ freeze frame capture of fast moving/changing events.
• Rapid frame rates – 30 fps over extended kinetic series; Burst to memory at 100 fps full frame;
• UltraVac™ - Sustained vacuum integrity and unequalled cooling with 5 year warranty; complete sensor protection.
• High Quantum Efficiency - Optimized for popular green/red emitting fluorophores.
• Dual-Gain Amplifiers - Maximum well depth and lowest noise simultaneously, affording extended dynamic range of 30,000:1
• 4 GB on-head image buffer – enables bursts of 100 fps @ full dynamic range. Capture extended kinetic series faster than PC write speed, avoiding prohibitively expensive PCs.
• Extensive FPGA on-head data processing - Essential to ensure best image quality and quantitative fidelity from sCMOS technology.
• Hardware Timestamp – FPGA generated timestamp with 25ns accuracy.
• Dynamic Baseline Clamp - Essential to ensure quantitative accuracy across the image area and between successive images of a kinetic series.
• Spurious Noise Filter - Real time FPGA filter that identifies and compensates for spurious high noise pixels.
• Single window design – Single input window with double AR coating ensures maximum photon throughput.
• Data flow monitor - Innovatively manage acquisition capture rates vs data bandwidth limitations.
• iCam - Market leading exposure switching with minimal overheads.
• Comprehensive trigger modes & I/O - Communication and synchronization within intricate experimental set-ups.
• Cameralink - Cameralink interface permits high bandwidth data spooling to PC, allowing fast continuous kinetic series.
