Compact cooled monochrome camera with a square 9 MP sensor for exposures of up to 60 minutes.

The FL 9BW is an air-cooled monochrome camera for long-exposure imaging, based on the Sony IMX533CLK-D back-illuminated CMOS sensor with a square 3000 × 3000 format. With the sensor cooled to -25 °C at 25 °C ambient and dark current below 0.0005 e⁻/pixel/s, it records clean, uniform images with exposures of up to 60 minutes. A compact 76 mm housing and C-mount interface make it straightforward to build into imaging instruments.

Key Features

  • Sony IMX533CLK-D BSI CMOS sensor with 92% peak QE at 540 nm and readout noise down to 0.7 e⁻ (low-noise readout, Gain 3)
  • Dark current below 0.0005 e⁻/pixel/s with cooling to -25 °C at 25 °C ambient; the sealed chamber prevents condensation
  • Exposure times from 15 µs to 60 min
  • Four gain modes (full well from 48 ke⁻ to 3.1 ke⁻) and a 16000:1 dynamic range
  • Defect pixel correction for a clean, uniform background in quantitative work
  • Binning from 2 × 2 up to 24 × 24
  • 19 fps in standard mode or 12 fps in low-noise mode at full resolution over USB 3.0

Typical Applications

  • Chemiluminescence imaging
  • Bioluminescence imaging
  • Digital PCR (dPCR)
  • Fluorescence imaging
  • Biochip readout
