Andor Technology has announced the launch of Sona 4.2B-6 — the latest model in the ultrasensitive back-illuminated Sona microscopy camera series. The Sona 4.2B-6 provides a balanced combination of sensitivity, speed and resolution, making it suited to the needs of challenging microscopy applications.

The camera features a 4.2 MP sensor format with a 6.5 µm pixel size. This format is suitable for obtaining maximum resolution from the commonly used 60x and 40x objective lens magnifications. It also complements the existing Sona 4.2B-11 model, with a larger, 32 mm field of view for imaging large sample area.

The Sona 4.2B-6 shares many of the key features that have made the existing Sona models effective, including high-sensitivity sensors with 95% quantum efficiency and permanent vacuum-sealed sensor chambers with cooling down to -45°C. The Sona series offers high sCMOS sensitivity, meaning signal to noise can be optimised under reduced illumination conditions, thus preserving the biology of living cells during extended measurement periods.
