Neo sCMOS Camera

In a -40°C vacuum cooled platform, with 1 e^- read noise, Rolling and Snapshot exposure, and loaded with FPGA intelligence, Andor’s Neo sCMOS camera is designed exclusively to drive optimal performance from this exciting and innovative new technology development.

Unlike any CMOS or CCD technology to come before it, Neo sets radical new benchmarks in its unique ability to simultaneously deliver highest specifications in sensitivity, resolution, speed, dynamic range and field-of-view: true scientific imaging, without compromise. Choice of Rolling and Global (Snapshot) exposure mechanisms ensure maximum application flexibility, the latter providing a ‘freeze frame’ capture capability that emulates that of an interline CCD. Conceptualized to dramatically outperform interline CCD technology within a ‘mid-range’ price bracket, Andor’s Neo sCMOS is ideally placed to become the new gold standard workhorse imaging detector.
