ORCA Flash 2.8 CMOS Scientific Camera
Hamamatsu Corporation
Hamamatsu's new ORCA-Flash 2.8 is a high-sensitivity digital camera based on an advanced CMOS device (scientific CMOS image sensor, FL-280) that finally realizes the multiple benefits of high resolution, high readout speed, and low noise all at an affordable price. It is suitable for a wide variety of scientific imaging applications, as well as semiconductor inspection and industrial imaging.
Built for high-speed imaging, the ORCA-Flash 2.8's readout speed ranges from 45 frames/sec at full resolution up to 1273 frames/sec with sub-array readout. Moreover, the ORCA-Flash2.8 delivers high sensitivity through its on-chip micro lens, 4500:1 high dynamic range, on-chip analog gain and various correction features that make the camera suitable for almost any scientific application from bright field imaging to low-light fluorescence imaging across a wide spectral range. Various external trigger functions and timing output functions ensure proper timing control with peripheral equipment to cover a wide range of applications.

At the core of the ORCA-Flash 2.8 is a new scientific CMOS image sensor, the FL-280, which features 2.8 megapixels and a pixel size of 3.63 x 3.63 µm, ensuring high resolution. The sensor's wavelength sensitivity ranges from UV to visible, with peak sensitivity (over 60% QE) at about 450-500 nm. In addition to high sensitivity, the sensor features low readout noise, typically 3 electrons r.m.s. The sensor's design keeps the readout noise minimal even at very fast readout speeds, unlike traditional image sensors. The FL-280 sensor also has low dark current. Because of its intrinsically low dark current, the sensor requires cooling to +5°C only.
