Andor introduces his Neo camera platform, based on next-generation scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology. The Neo sCMOS simultaneously offer ultra-low noise, extremely fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high resolution and a large field of view.
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 maintain 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 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. Neo offers unparalleled FPGA intelligence for superior image quality and quantitative stability, coupled with a 4GB on-head image memory to facilitate faster frame rate performance.
