Zyla sCMOS Camera

Upgrade from Interline...

sCMOS technology is rapidly gaining recognition as the ‘new interline’, particularly in the field of cell microscopy. Interline CCD technology has been the dominant detector for fluorescence microscopy for almost 15 years, the benchmark sensor being a 1.4 megapixel. 6.45 µm pixel size device, offering relatively low read noise (typically between 5 and 8 e- rms) at modest frame rates of 11-12 fps.

Fundamentally, sCMOS technology was conceptualized to offer a better alternative to interline CCDs. Indeed, Andor’s Zyla sCMOS offers dramatically higher performance, yet remains within the same price bracket as interline cameras, and is ideally placed to become the new gold standard 'workhorse' laboratory detector.

Zyla ticks boxes!

  • Superior performance – vastly superior to interline across key performance parameters.
  • Rolling and Snapshot exposures – Zyla is unique in offering both these exposure modes in one camera. Global shutter (snapshot) is directly analogous to the interline exposure mechanism.
  • Image Quality – a huge amount of effort and FPGA intelligence has gone into optimizing image quality in Zyla.
  • Flexibility – fast, slow, binned, ROI, rolling shutter, snapshot shutter… Zyla is adaptable to a broad gamut of application requirements.
  • Price – with so many superb features, we have endeavoured to make the Zyla accessible to every lab.
