Andor offers multi-megapixel scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras that combine a number of features such as high resolution, rapid frame rates, ultra-low noise, large field of view and wide dynamic range that are not available in other CMOS or CCD cameras.
sCMOS is a breakthrough technology that provides a sophisticated set of performance features, making it suitable for high fidelity, quantitative scientific measurements.
The multi-megapixel sensors provide high resolution sans compromising on frame rate, read noise, or dynamic range.
The Andor sCMOS range provides both a commercial and technical solution to a wide range of research and OEM applications. The Neo is the only vacuum cooled sCMOS camera that features a rolling and global shutter. It is ultra-sensitive and has low noise.
The Zyla range is available as 5.5 or 4.2 megapixel. Zyla is compact, lightweight, and cost effective. Its key features are a high quantum efficiency (QE), 100fps, USB 3.0, rolling and global shutter (Zyla 5.5 model), and the new LightScan PLUS with FlexiScan and CycleMax (Zyla 4.2 CL model)
