Andor Technology has brought out the Clara interline CCD camera, which delivers high sensitivity and dynamic range performance.
Andor's vacuum process, alongside close attention to thermal management, has resulted in deep air cooling to -45C for elimination of darkcurrent, complementing a low-read noise floor of 3e- rms.
Low noise 10 or 20MHz readout modes allow dynamic events to be followed with outstanding quantitative stability.
The data is channelled through a trouble-free USB 2.0 interface.
Andor's Icam technology and I/O functionality enable excellent acquisition efficiency through live cell microscopy software.
An accurate hardware-generated timestamp ensures temporal precision.
The compact and robust design and accessible SDK make Clara suited to OEM integration.
The Clara interline CCD camera is based on Sony's 1.3 megapixel ICX285 sensor.
