The sCMOS (scientific CMOS) device, developed for scientific research, has lower noise components and improved quantum efficiency compared with conventional CMOS devices. They are used in fields that require high-speed response, wide dynamic ranges, extended field-of-view, and high-resolution and gradation capabilities.
Ideal for the Following Applications
The sCMOS camera is excellent for the following applications:
High-speed Ca2+ imaging
Ratio imaging
FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer)
TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence)
Observation of cellular functions using GFP
Time lapse fluorescence imaging
Micromorphological observation
FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization)
The following manufacturers are recommended for sCMOS cameras that can be operated with Olympus cellSens software:
Hamamatsu Photonics
QImaging
ANDOR
