Aries 6510 BSI sCMOS Camera, 29.4 mm Diagonal, 150 fps, 0.7 e⁻ Noise
Aries 6510Design Tools
A large-field sCMOS camera for high-throughput optical systems and large-area image stitching.
The Aries 6510 pairs the back-illuminated GSENSE6510BSI sensor with a 3200 × 3200 array of 6.5 µm pixels, giving a 29.4 mm imaging diagonal. It streams full 10.2 MP frames at up to 150 fps and offers HDR, Speed and Sensitivity readout modes, with read noise as low as 0.7 e⁻ (median). A dual 10GigE interface, T, F or C optical mounts and air or liquid cooling make it a good fit for high-throughput imaging systems.
Key Features
- 29.4 mm diagonal (20.8 mm × 20.8 mm) with 6.5 µm pixels for more sample area per frame
- Speed mode: 150 fps at full 10.2 MP with selectable full well of 1.24 ke⁻, 4.5 ke⁻ or 20 ke⁻
- 95% peak QE; read noise down to 0.7 e⁻ (median) in Sensitivity Low Noise mode
- Full-frame throughput of about 1530 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 or liquid cooling, on-board defect pixel correction and 1 µs timestamp accuracy
Typical Applications
- High-throughput imaging and large-area stitching
- Fluorescence slide scanning
- Super-resolution and single-molecule microscopy
- Light-sheet microscopy
- Calcium and live-cell imaging
- High-content and confocal imaging
