Unlike previous generations of CMOS and CCD-based sensors, sCMOS is uniquely capable of simultaneously offering:
Extremely low noise
Rapid frame rates
Wide dynamic range
High quantum efficiency (QE)
High resolution
Large field of view
A 'No Compromise' Scientific CMOS Imager
sCMOS carries an advanced set of performance features that renders it entirely suitable to high fidelity, quantitative scientific measurement. Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) stands alone in its ability to simultaneously deliver on many key performance parameters, overcoming the 'trade-offs' that are inherent to current scientific imaging technology standards, and eradicating the performance drawbacks that have traditionally been associated with conventional CMOS imagers.
