Microscopy camera ORCA-Fire

digital3DCMOS

The ORCA-Fire intelligently integrates all the essential elements of a high performance, back-thinned, scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera. The camera’s excellence is rooted in Hamamatsu’s dedication to low noise and high quantum efficiency sCMOS technology. With the ORCA-Fire, high sensitivity is realized while also achieving excellent resolution and blazing fast speeds. The ORCA-Fire shines when the science demands high throughput but the sample can only deliver a few photons. Will the ORCA-Fire spark your next discovery? Highlight Specs LOW NOISE 1.0 electrons rms (115 frames/s) HIGH QE 86 % @460 nm (Back illuminated CMOS) HIGH RESOLUTION 4432 (H) × 2368 (V) (Pixel size 4.6 μm) HIGH SPEED 115 frames/s (@4432(H)×2368(V) 10.5 Mpixels) LARGE FIELD OF VIEW 20.4 mm × 10.9 mm (Diagonal 23.114 mm) HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE 1 : 20 000 (Full well capacity 20 000 electrons) SMALL PIXELS, BIG RESOLUTION Optimize your optics to maximize resolution Low mag imaging (<40×) offers the advantage of large field of view, which can be critical for high throughput applications. To acquire low mag images with maximum information, the imaging system must achieve high resolution by matching pixel size to Nyquist-level or higher sampling rates. The pixel size of the ORCA-Fire is ideal for most 40× objectives or lower (see chart below). The ORCA-Fire’s high spatial resolution combined with a large pixel array and high speed readout delivers 2.9× higher pixel throughput over even the fastest 4.2 MP 6.5 μm sCMOS camera.
