Dhyana 95 V2 BSI sCMOS Camera, 95% QE, 11 µm Pixels
Dhyana 95 V2Design Tools
A back-illuminated sCMOS camera with large 11 µm pixels and 95% QE for very low-light imaging.
The Dhyana 95 V2 pairs a 2048 × 2048 back-illuminated sCMOS sensor with large 11 µm pixels, reaching 95% QE at 560 nm with 1.6 e⁻ median read noise. It gives low-light results comparable to EMCCD cameras without their gain ageing, signal drift or multiplication noise, and factory calibration keeps fixed-pattern noise in the bias background low. Fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy and astronomy are typical uses.
Key Features
- 95% peak QE at 560 nm with spectral response from 200 to 1100 nm (UV, visible and NIR)
- 11 µm pixels collect about 3× the light of standard 6.5 µm pixels
- 1.6 e⁻ median read noise; higher SNR than an EMCCD for signals above 3 photons
- Factory calibration that reduces fixed-pattern noise: DSNU 0.2 e⁻, PRNU 0.3%
- 31.9 mm diagonal (22.5 × 22.5 mm) captures a wide microscope field in one frame
- 48 fps at 12 bit or 24 fps in 16-bit HDR mode, with 100 ke⁻ full well (STD mode)
- USB 3.0 and CameraLink outputs; air or liquid cooling to 45°C below ambient; C-mount or F-mount
Typical Applications
- Super-resolution microscopy
- Single-molecule imaging
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Spectroscopy
- Soft X-ray imaging
- FPD and semiconductor wafer inspection
