The back-illuminated Sona 4.2B-11 and Sona 2.0B-11 sCMOS microscopy camera features a 4.2 or 2.0 Mpixel on-sample field of view.
FIGURE 1. A comparison (a) of the signal-to-noise ratio vs. photon intensity for two types of Zyla cameras made by Andor Technology to that of the company’s iXon back-illuminated electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) shows that the EMCCD is best for the lowest photon rates, including single photon counting, while sCMOS takes over for higher (but still very low) photon rates). The quantum efficiency (QE) of Andor’s Zyla cameras is optimized for use with a range of fluorophores (b).
sCMOS cameras are now widely used in a variety of leading-edge microscopy techniques, as well as in astronomy and elsewhere.

IMAGE: A custom-designed Andor iKon-XL Astronomy CCD was successfully deployed on the new Antarctica Bright Star Survey Telescope (BSST); its spatial resolution, extended dynamic range, and low-noise performance increase the possibility of finding more stars and planetary systems in the hunt for Super-Earths.

A high-speed scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera offers very high frame rates of 4000 frames per second (fps) with all the standard advantages of sCMOS technology. Most sCMOS cameras have imaging speeds in the 100 fps realm.
Andor Technology launched its new iStar platform featuring the latest in high-speed, low-noise sCMOS technology.

The blue curve shows the expected fall-off of energy density with increasing penetration depth of light in a scattering medium (the small dip at the entering surface is a function of the scatterer's mean free path). The red enhanced diffusion curve shows a very different result: a sharp rise, resulting in much more energy stored inside the scattering layer.
An SLM shapes the incoming wavefront, boosting stored light power within the medium by 4.6 times.

Current versus voltage (I‐V) plot of a connected antenna with tunnel gap (a). For applied voltages above 1.5 V, light is detected whose intensity grows linearly with the current. Inset: Fowler‐Nordheim representation of the same I‐V data and fit (solid line) using the Simmons model (with image charges, s=1.27 nm, φeff=2.56 eV, w=2.14 nm, εCTAB=1.435, Ioffset=50 pA, Ileakage=0). Electron micrograph of a structure superimposed with the subwavelength emission spot shows an Airy pattern with a FWHM of 350 nm (b). Weak background illumination was used to visualize the outline of the structure. Electroluminescence spectra for various applied voltage (c; open symbols). Solid red line: scattering spectrum of an unbiased antenna. Solid colored lines represent calculated electroluminescence spectra obtained according to the model described in the text. A global scaling factor was used to match the experimental data.
Researchers used Andor's Shamrock spectrometer and iXon EMCCD camera in their experiments.

A new technique is shedding light on global warming gases:3D time-sliced coincidence images of nitrous oxide and total kinetic energy released distributions at different vibronic levels are shown. The electric vector E of synchrotron radiation is noted as the vertical direction of the image plane, where (a)–(c) are recorded at 20.100, 20.260, and 20.390 eV, respectively, and corresponding to the C(0,0,0), C(1,0,0), and C(0,0,1) vibronic levels. Least-squares fitting of the total KERD curves with two gaussian profiles are plotted with the solid line. This data, which is acquired with the help of an Andor iKon-M camera, is used to gain a better understanding of the characteristics, origins, and concentrations of global-warming gases like nitrous oxide.
Belfast, Ireland--Andor iKon-M cameras are at the heart of a new TPEPICO imaging technique that can determine the formation pathways of global-warming nitric oxide gases.

pH response of pHRed fluorescence lifetime (630 nm emission) with 860 nm two-photon excitation, where a) represents pH response of peak normalized fluorescence lifetime decays of purified pHRed in solution and b) shows intracellular pH in live Neuro2A cells imaged with FLIM. The nigericin method was used to manipulate pH. c) pH response of pHRed fluorescence lifetime in cells (n = 6) and protein in solution (n = 3) in solution agreed well with an apparent pKa of 6.9 (0.2, similar to the F575/F440 intensity ratio response.
