Andor Technology has launched the innovative and highly anticipated Neo camera platform, based on next-generation scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology.


The Neo sCMOS is the most significant camera launch in recent times and it stands alone in its ability to simultaneously offer ultra-low noise, extremely fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high resolution and a large field of view, overcoming the performance trade-offs associated with traditional scientific CCD detectors.


Neo achieves an unprecedented 1 electron read noise while reading out 5.5 megapixels at 30 frames/sec. Furthermore, the camera can be pushed to 100 full frames/sec, even faster with regions of interest, while still maintaining 1.4 electron noise. Neo exclusively offers deep vacuum cooling down to
-40 °C, critical to maintaining the low noise advantage and a minimal pixel blemish specification across all exposure conditions.


The vacuum architecture also enables a single window design for maximum photon throughput. The innovative dual amplifier architecture enables Neo to achieve a wide dynamic range of 30,000:1 - with 16-bit digitization available at all frame rates - while still offering a relatively small 6.5 μm pixel size that is ideal for fluorescence microscopy techniques.
