Since its inception, CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology has held great potential to become the detector platform of choice for many scientific imaging applications. These demanding fields require a unique combination of sensitivity, speed, dynamic range, resolution, and field of view.
In this paper we present sCMOS, a breakthrough technology based on next-generation CIS design and fabrication techniques. sCMOS is poised for widespread recognition as a true scientific grade CIS, capable of out-performing most scientific imaging devices on the market today.
