Dhyana 6060BSI Large-Format BSI sCMOS Camera, 6144 × 6144, 95% QE
Dhyana 6060BSIDesign Tools
A 36 MP back-illuminated sCMOS camera with 10 µm pixels for wide-field, low-light scientific imaging.
The Dhyana 6060BSI is built around a 6144 × 6144 back-illuminated sCMOS sensor with 10 µm pixels and an 86.8 mm diagonal, reaching 95% peak QE at 580 nm. It brings large-format imaging, previously the territory of CCDs, to frame rates of up to 26.4 fps over a four-lane CoaXPress 2.0 link while keeping median read noise at 3 e⁻. Typical uses include astronomy, space debris tracking, quantum imaging and soft X-ray work.
Key Features
- 95% peak QE at 580 nm and 3 e⁻ median read noise for high signal-to-noise ratio with weak signals
- 6144 × 6144 pixels (36 MP) at 10 µm on a 61.4 × 61.4 mm active area, 86.8 mm diagonal
- 102 ke⁻ typical full-well capacity and 90 dB dynamic range
- Up to 26.4 fps at 12 bit or 11.3 fps in 16-bit HDR mode over CoaXPress 2.0 (CXP-12 × 4)
- Air or liquid cooling, down to 45°C below ambient; dark current 0.15 e⁻/pixel/s with liquid cooling
- GPS support and 1 µs timestamp accuracy for time-tagged observations
- Customizable optical interface and an operating range of -35°C to 40°C
Typical Applications
- Space debris detection
- Solar observation and astronomy
- Soft X-ray imaging
- Quantum imaging and quantum optics
- Flat-panel display (FPD) inspection
