Orca FLASH 4.0LT3 Monochrome Camera Hamamatsu
4.2-megapixel CMOS scientific digital camera with low read noise, high resolution and wide field of view, designed for multidimensional fluorescence imaging. The ORCA-Flash4.0 LT3 camera is a high-performance solution for fluorescence imaging, ideal for life science applications and equipment integration. Its scientific CMOS sensor offers very low read noise (1.5 electron rms) and excellent quantum efficiency (up to 82%), enabling high-quality acquisitions even in very low light. Thanks to its high readout speed (up to 40 fps at full resolution) and wide 13.3 × 13.3 mm field of view, it is ideally suited to techniques such as multi-dimensional imaging, long time-lapse and DNA chip reading.
