Andor launches the next model in Sona's series of high-speed back-illuminated sCMOS cameras, delivering a balanced combination of high sensitivity, exceptional , optimal resolution and unbeatable price.
With its4. 2 MPx sensor and pixels scaled to 6.5 µm,the Sona 4.2B - 6 matches the port size of modern microscopes and is ideal for those who need optimal resolution at the widely used 40x and 60x magnification. This sensor format provides maximum flexibility and the required imaging performance in a wide range of scientific applications (developmental biology, plasma membrane research, cell mobility, neuronal imaging, organoid research, super-resolution microscopy, etc.).
A quantum efficiency of 95% maximizes signal acquisition, which, combined with thermoelectric cooling to -45 °C and special UltraVac technology leading to minimized noise levels, enables the highest possible sensitivity even for demanding low-light applications.
The speed of this sCMOS camera reaches up to 74 fps at full resolution and 16-bit depth thanks to the CoaXPress interface, which is particularly suitable for imaging fast dynamic cellular processes.
Key Features:
- 6.5 µm pixel - ideal for maximum resolution at 40x and 60x magnification
- 4.2 MPx sensor and C-mount adapter - fits all modern microscopes perfectly
- Quantum efficiency up to 95%
- High frame rate - Frame rate up to 74 fps (full frame, 16bit) thanks to CoaXPress interface for high-speed data transfer
- Low Noise Mode - Noise reduction without affecting frame rate or increasing exposure time; ideal for applications where the highest sensitivity is required
- Special UltraVac technology to minimize noise levels and extend sensor life
