Andor Technology plc, a specialist in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, announced the launch of the ultrasensitive Zyla 4.2 Scientific Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (sCMOS) camera. Offering high quantum efficiency (QE) coupled with low read noise and 100 frames per second (fps) frame rate, Zyla 4.2 is suitable for microscopy applications that need speed and sensitivity, such as ion-signalling, super-resolution, light-sheet and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF).
The high-resolution 4.2 megapixel (MP) camera delivers 72% QE, less than 1 electron read noise and 33,000:1 dynamic range in a light, compact, low-vibration design, intended for both research and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) usage. Comprehensive on-head field-programmable gate array (FPGA) real-time data processing ensures image quality and quantitative stability.
Thermoelectrically cooled to 0°C (32°F) and utilizing a low noise fan, suitable for vibration-sensitive setups such as super-resolution, Zyla 4.2 also benefits from Andor’s dark noise suppression (DNS) technology to yield a dark-current of only 0.14 electrons/pixel/second, maintaining low noise across a range of exposure conditions. Zyla is also available in a -10°C (-14°F) water-cooled variant.
