Andor Technology has announced even higher performance from the Andor Clara sensitive interline CCD camera, reducing its typical read noise to 2.4 electrons at 1MHz.
Andor has reported improvement to the cooling performance of the Clara, which now offers cooling to -55C with internal fan only (no water required), complementing a -20C under fan-off (vibration free) operation.
The Clara is based around the 1.3 Megapixel ICX285 sensor from Sony and is engineered to drive the highest sensitivity and dynamic-range performance available from a high-resolution scientific interline CCD camera.
Dynamic events can be followed with quantitative stability via low-noise 10 or 20MHz readout modes and the data channelled through a USB 2.0 interface.
Andor's Icam technology and comprehensive I/O functionality enable acquisition efficiency through live cell-microscopy softwares, while an accurate hardware-generated timestamp ensures temporal precision.
