Dhyana 400DC Cooled Color sCMOS Camera, 2048 × 2048, 16-bit, USB 3.0
Dhyana 400DCDesign Tools
A cooled color sCMOS camera for low-light color microscopy with accurate color rendering.
The Dhyana 400DC is an air-cooled, front-illuminated color sCMOS camera using the GSENSE2020s sensor with 2048 × 2048 pixels of 6.5 µm. Its 16-bit output and 86.6 dB dynamic range preserve fine tonal and color differences, while 1.7 e⁻ read noise and cooling to 35 °C below ambient support imaging in low light. It is intended for color microscopy such as multicolor fluorescence, darkfield, DIC and pathology work.
Key Features
- Color GSENSE2020s sensor with 2048 × 2048 pixels on an 18.8 mm diagonal
- 16-bit output for fine tonal gradation and faithful color rendering
- 1.7 e⁻ read noise (high gain) and 45 ke⁻ typical full well
- Air cooling to 35 °C below ambient; dark current 0.12 e⁻/pixel/s at −10 °C
- 6.5 µm pixels suited to high-NA 40×, 60× and 100× microscope objectives
- 22 fps at 8 bit or 16 fps at 16 bit over USB 3.0; SMA trigger I/O
Typical Applications
- Multicolor fluorescence imaging
- Darkfield and brightfield microscopy
- DIC microscopy
- Polarization imaging
- Pathology analysis
