Our major cameras for low-light imaging are described below.
Scientific CMOS Camera: Orca-Flash 4.0
Faster, smoother, quicker and quieter — Hamamatsu's ORCA-Flash 4.0 is truly a game changer in the world of scientific imaging. Built on a revolutionary new Gen II sCMOS detector, the ORCA-Flash 4.0 is the first Scientific CMOS camera that challenges the performance of all CCD, EM-CCD, and Gen I Scientific CMOS cameras.
Scientific CMOS camera ORCA-Flash2.8
For fast, low-light imaging in the visible region. The ORCA-Flash2.8 scientific CMOS camera offers the benefits of high resolution, high frame rates (45 fps), and low noise all at once.
Cooled CCD camera ORCA-R2
For low-light imaging in the UV to NIR region. The versatile ORCA-R2 cooled CCD camera has great sensitivity from UV to NIR and a wide exposure setting from 10 microseconds to 70 minutes. Its optional water cooling feature makes it suitable for the most demanding applications and environments.
Dual CCD camera ORCA-D2
For dual wavelength imaging and multifocal point imaging in the visible to NIR region. The ORCA-D2 dual CCD camera features two CCDs in a single camera. It captures dual wavelength images simultaneously and with a wide field of view.
Ultra-high-sensitivity EMCCD camera ImagEM series
For ultra-low-light imaging in the visible to NIR region. The ImagEM electron multiplier CCD (EMCCD) camera has the speed and sensitivity for imaging applications involving ultra-low light, high-speed acquisition, or short exposure time.
