RoHS REACH

A back-illuminated sCMOS camera sized for the field of standard microscopes, with fast full-frame readout.

The Aries 6506 uses the back-illuminated GSENSE6510BSI sensor read out at 2400 × 2400 pixels of 6.5 µm, giving a 22 mm diagonal suited to the field of view of standard microscope optics. Full-resolution output runs at up to 200 fps (5.8 MP), and several readout modes let users trade speed, full well and noise. Data are carried over a dual 10GigE link, so no frame grabber is needed.

Key Features

  • 95% peak QE with read noise down to 0.7 e⁻ (median) in Sensitivity Low Noise mode
  • Speed mode: 200 fps at full 5.8 MP with selectable full well of 1.24 ke⁻, 4.5 ke⁻ or 20 ke⁻
  • Dynamic HDR mode: 16-bit output at 111 fps with 13.7 ke⁻ full well and 77 dB dynamic range
  • Full-frame throughput of about 1160 Mpixel/s, compared with about 420 Mpixel/s for a typical 18.8 mm-diagonal sCMOS camera
  • Dual 10GigE data interface with standard cabling; no frame grabber required
  • Air cooling to 0 °C or liquid cooling to −10 °C, on-board defect pixel correction and 1 µs timestamp accuracy

Typical Applications

  • Super-resolution and single-molecule microscopy
  • Light-sheet microscopy
  • Calcium and live-cell imaging
  • High-content and high-throughput imaging
  • Confocal imaging
  • Fluorescence slide scanning
