Radically upgrade the performance of your fluorescence microscope with Andor sCMOS. Our large portfolio of multi-megapixel sCMOS cameras offers a solution for almost any application. Study the full dynamics of life from the ultra-fast processes of the cell, to development of the mature organism.

New Sona extreme - our most sensitive and fastest sCMOS. Up to 95% QE, and <1.0e- read noise. Exclusive vacuum technology for deep stable cooling.

11 µm pixels and 95% QE for optimal photon collection. Widest field of view - up to 32 mm. Exclusive vacuum technology for deep stable cooling.

C-RED 2 is a revolutionary ultra high speed low noise Short Wave Infrared camera, able to run at 600 fps full frame with less than 30 electrons readout noise. To achieve this performance, C-RED 2 integrates a 640 x 512 InGaAs PIN Photodiode detector with 15 μm pixel pitch for high resolution, which embeds an electronic shutter with integration pulses shorter than 5 μs. C-RED 2 offers dark optimization for long exposure times up to 60 seconds and High Dynamic Range: 93 dB and true 16 bits. Designed for high-end low light SWIR applications, C-RED 2 offers new opportunities for science, research and industry.

C-RED 2 ER is a highly sensitive extended InGaAs camera series for extended SWIR imaging and opens new imaging and sensing opportunities for life science, research, laser measurements, and industrial applications. C-RED 2 ER are VGA (640 x 512 pixels) detectors with a 15 μm pixel pitch for high resolution, and with peak quantum efficiency > 70%. All models are able to run at 600 fps full frame, and up to 32066 fps in cropping mode. In addition, all models have an integrated two-stage thermoelectric cooler, which enables a cooling capability up to 60°C.

Andor’s iKon-L 936 is designed with scientific imaging in mind. The 2048 x 2048 array and 13.5 µm pixel pitch combine to deliver a 27.6 x 27.6 mm active image area, TE cooled down to -100°C. The iKon-L offers outstanding resolution, field of view, sensitivity and dynamic range performance. Ultimate sensitivity performance is achieved through combination of > 90% QE (back-illuminated sensor), low noise readout electronics and exceptionally deep TE cooling. The NEW Dual AR deep depletion ‘BEX2-DD’ sensor option provides an unmatched QE profile, offering highest possible QE from UV through to NIR.

Andor’s iKon-M 934 series cameras are designed to offer the ultimate in high-sensitivity, low noise performance, ideal for demanding imaging applications. These high resolution 1024 x 1024 CCD cameras boast up to 95% QEmax, high dynamic range, 13 μm pixels and exceptionally low readout noise. The iKon-M benefits from negligible dark current with industry-leading thermoelectric cooling down to -100°C. The ‘Deep Depletion’ sensor option offers ultimate performance for NIR applications, the new Dual AR coating extends the QE performance significantly across the UV/visible region of the spectrum for the broadest possible spectral coverage from one sensor. Fringe Suppression Technology™ radically minimizes etaloning effects in the NIR. Rapid vertical shifts combined with fast kinetics acquisition mode, comprehensive trigger modes and custom coated wedge window options, render the deep Depletion models ideal for NIR optimized Bose Einstein Condensation applications.

With the iXon EMCCD cameras, Andor have delivered a dedicated, truly high-end, yet accessible ultrasensitive scientific camera platform, designed specifically to drive the absolute best from EMCCD technology across all critical performance specs and parameters.

Unlike any CCD or CMOS camera to come before, Andor`s multi-megapixel sCMOS cameras are unique in their ability to combine ultra-low noise, extremely rapid frame rates, wide dynamic range, large field of view and high-resolution. The Andor sCMOS portfolio ensures a viable technical and commercial solution to an extremely broad range of research and OEM application and design requirements.
