digitalsCMOSfluorescent

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 Sona is Andor’s latest high performance sCMOS camera series, specifically developed for life science imaging applications. All Sona models feature the latest back-illuminated sCMOS sensor technology with 95% Quantum Efficiency (QE). Sona exploits Andor’s technical know how as a leader in sCMOS technology to extract the very best from these new generation sensors. Sona is the only back-illuminated sCMOS camera with a permanent vacuum technology for unmatched longevity and deepest cooling. ​ New Sona-6 Extreme​ 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.​
