Hamamatsu Photonics introduces sCMOS camera for demanding microscopy tasks
Hamamatsu Photonics
Orca-Flash4.0 camera
Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a scalable complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) camera for scientific applications such as high-resolution microscopy, TIRF microscopy, live-cell GFP, high-speed calcium ion imaging and real-time confocal microscopy.
The company claims that the Orca-Flash4.0 camera is able to deliver a better signal-to-noise ratio than EM-CCDs, cooled CCDs and first-generation sCMOS cameras for low-level, fast fluorescence imaging.
The camera delivers quantum efficiency values of more than 70 per cent at 600nm and 50 per cent at 750nm and offers 1.3 electrons of read noise at 100 full-resolution frames per second.
Featuring a 4.0-megapixel sCMOS sensor (6.5μm pixel size), the Orca-Flash4.0 is suitable for demanding microscopy applications.
