The ORCA-Fire intelligently integrates all the essential elements of a high performance, back-thinned, scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera. The camera’s excellence is rooted in Hamamatsu’s dedication to low noise and high quantum efficiency sCMOS technology. With the ORCA-Fire, high sensitivity is realised while also achieving excellent resolution and blazing fast speeds. This sCMOS camera shines when the science demands high throughput but the sample can only deliver a few photons.

Will the ORCA-Fire spark your next discovery?

 

Highlights:

  • Low Noise: 1.0 electrons rms (115 frames/s)
  • High QE: 86 % @460 nm (Back illuminated CMOS)
  • High Resolution:4432 (H) × 2368 (V) (Pixel size 4.6 μm)
  • High Speed:115 frames/s (@4432(H)×2368(V) 10.5 Mpixels)
  • Large Field of View:20.4 mm × 10.9 mm (Diagonal 23.114 mm)
  • High Dynamic Range:1:20,000 (Full well capacity 20,000 electrons)
