Andor Marana Back Illuminated sCMOS

Marana is Andor’s high performance sCMOS camera platform for Astronomy and Physical Sciences, featuring 95% Quantum Efficiency (QE) and market-leading vacuum cooling to -45 °C. The platform offers solutions for large field of view and high-speed imaging/spectroscopy.

Features:

• 95% QE & -45 °C cooling - most sensitive back-illuminated sCMOS available
• 4.2 Megapixel / up to 32mm sensor – perfect for astronomy
• Up to 74 fps full frame (faster with ROI) – track fast events without smear
• > 99.7% linearity – superb quantitative accuracy across full dynamic range
• Vacuum longevity & quality – no moisture on sensor, no QE decay

Marana 4.2B-11 - Superior field of view

The Marana 4.2B-11 is the detector of choice when field of view and sensitivity are required. Andor’s unique glow suppression approach enables you to usefully and uniquely access the entire 2048 x 2048 pixel array of the GSense 400 BSI sensor, offering an impressive 32 mm sensor diagonal.

NEW Marana 4.2B-6 - now even faster, more sensitive and with long exposure capabiltiy

This high speed model achieves 74 fps (16-bit) and is the most sensitive back-illuminated camera available for imaging or spectroscopic applications requiring fast frame rates, such as Quantum Gas dynamics, fast high resolution spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging and non-destructive imaging of sample dynamics via X-Ray or Neutron Radiography. The smaller 6.5 μm pixel is better suited to resolution matching across many laboratory-based optical imaging configurations, as well as in echelle spectroscopy. The Marana platform can be readily adapted to Adaptive Optics wavefront sensing. Not only is it capable of producing hundreds of fps with ROIs, it is also specifically architected to minimise data transfer lag. Furthermore, the fast frame rate of Marana can be harnessed to massively extend dynamic range and effective well depth through fast stacking (accumulation) of images or spectra.
