Andor Technology Neo sCMOS camera

Andor Technology’s Neo sCMOS camera platform is a true scientific CMOS in every sense. It has been engineered to harness the full performance potential of sCMOS sensor technology. It simultaneously offers ultralow noise, extremely fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high resolution and a large field of view.

The camera features very low read noise of 1 e^- rms without the need for signal amplification technology. 100 frames/s can be reached with full frame readout, faster with region of interest selection. In Neo, these speeds are coupled to a dynamic range capability of 25,000:1 with 16-bit digitisation.

Neo offers an advanced, yet necessary, set of performance features, including deep TE cooling to -40°C, extensive ‘on-head’ FPGA data processing capability, a 4 GB image buffer memory and a data flow monitor. Andor’s UltraVac vacuum process has been implemented to offer not only superior cooling capability but also complete protection of the sensor and a single window design (antireflection coated) to maximise photon throughput.

These capabilities have been implemented to drive best possible performance, image quality and long-term reliability from sCMOS technology.
