Key Features

Frames per second graph

Extreme Speed

Taking advantage of an 8-bit readout mode, the Kinetix sCMOS delivers a tremendous 498 frames per second (fps), full frame with a 29.4 mm diagonal field of view.

The optimized line time allows the speed to significantly outperform typical sCMOS devices, delivering over 5000 megapixels/second – over a 10-fold improvement.

Example large field of view

Large Field Of View

The 29.4 mm square sensor of the Kinetix is designed to increase throughput, maximize the amount of data captured in a single frame and take full advantage of new, larger field of view microscopes.

At 29.4 mm diagonal, the Kinetix sensor has a 2.4x larger imaging area than typical sCMOS cameras allowing the user to significantly speed up data acquisition.

Quantum Efficiency graph

High Sensitivity

The Kinetix back-illuminated sCMOS camera achieves a near-perfect 96% quantum efficiency.

By bringing the light in from the back of the sensor, photons land directly onto the light receiving surface, maximizing light collecting capability.

The Kinetix combines 96% quantum efficiency with a low 0.7 e- read noise to deliver the most sensitive sCMOS camera at 498 frames per second.

High Resolution

The Kinetix features 6.5 µm x 6.5 µm pixels, the accepted standard for most live cell applications using 40x and 60x magnification.

This pixel size provides highly detailed images across the imaging plane and is most suitable for the broadest range of microscope objectives.

Superior Background Quality

The Kinetix features Pattern Noise Reduction Technology and Correlated Noise Reduction Technology to ensure that it delivers clean, pattern-free images with minimal pixel defects, delivering improved image quality in low light conditions.
