Camera for scientific applications Sona-6 Extreme

high dynamic rangevision processingUV

Sona is Andor’s latest high performance sCMOS camera series, specifically for life science imaging applications. The new and enhanced Sona-6 Extreme is now more sensitive and faster! An exceptional combination of sensitivity, speed and resolution for optimal imaging performance across many applications. • 95% QE & -45 °C cooling - most sensitive back-illuminated sCMOS available • Up to 135 fps full frame – follow dynamic processes without smear • > 99.7% linearity – superb quantitative accuracy across full dynamic range • 6.5 µm & 11µm pixel size options – suit most magnifications & applications • SRRF-Stream+ technology - resolve detail to ~100 nm from a normal microscope • Back-illuminated 4.2 Megapixel sensor with 6.5 µm pixels. This format matches perfectly with modern microscope port sizes and provides optimal resolution for the widely used 40x and 60x magnifications. A QE of 95% maximizes signal collection, which when combined with thermoelectric cooling to -45°C, results in an ultra-low noise floor, and the highest possible sensitivity for demanding low-light applications.​ • The Sona-6 just got more sensitive and even faster! With “Sona Extreme” we have boosted the capabilities of the Sona-6 to the maximum. Read noise has been reduced by over 25% to boost detection. A new High-Speed mode accelerates the sensor to a stunning 135 fps! Image quality has also been enhanced with PRNU improved by 25%! So whether you are capturing the faintest signals, or dynamic processes of the cell, the latest Sona-6 is sure to provide exceptional imaging performance.​
