Camera for life sciences applications ORCA®-Quest IQ

digitalfluorescence

The ORCA-Quest IQ inherits the ORCA-Quest series’ core features—low noise, high resolution, and high quantum efficiency. The new feature of Camera Link output allows the camera to support advanced applications such as adaptive optics and super-resolution microscopy. These applications require a control system through a Camera Link interface for image acquisition, processing, and high-speed feedback to peripheral devices.​ Features Readout noise (typ.): 0.30 electrons (rms) at ultra quiet scan Effective number of pixels: 4096 (H) × 2304 (V) Quantum efficiency: 85 % (peak QE at 460 nm) Frame rate: Camera Link Standard Base/Full Camera Link, with a history dating back to the early 2000s, uses LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling), which is highly resistant to electrical noise. This standard offers high reliability and stable operation even in noisy environments, and is still widely adopted in many frame grabber boards and image processing equipment. ORCA-Quest IQ supports base/full configuration standards to meet the various needs of our customers. Evolution from ORCA-Quest The ORCA-Quest IQ is a qCMOS camera that inherits the core features of the ORCA-Quest series, low noise, high resolution, high quantum efficiency, and introduces a new Camera Link output.​ For details on the camera’s core features, please refer to the ORCA-Quest 2 qCMOS camera page.​ Applications Neutral atom, Trapped ion Neutral atoms and ions are aligned one by one in an array to be utilized as Qubits for Quantum computing. The qubit states can be determined by observing the fluorescence emanating from each of them.
