Aries 16 is a high-sensitivity back illuminated sCMOS research grade camera launched by Tucson
1、 Core Features
1. Ultra high sensitivity: Adopting a 16 micron pixel design, the sensitivity is increased by more than 5 times compared to a typical 6.5 micron pixel, and the weak light detection capability is greatly improved.
2. Ultra low readout noise: The readout noise is as low as 0.9 electrons, which can replace EMCCD cameras at equivalent speed and is not affected by multiplicative noise, gain aging, and other factors.
3. Deep cooling technology: The cooling depth can be lower than the ambient temperature by 60 ℃, effectively reducing thermal noise and improving imaging signal-to-noise ratio.
4. High dynamic range: With a full well capacity of 73 ke - and a dynamic range of 94.8 dB, it can simultaneously capture strong and weak signals.
2、 Advantages and limitations
1. Advantages:
-High sensitivity and low noise, suitable for detecting extreme signals in low light environments.
-High dynamic range, capable of capturing both strong and weak signals simultaneously.
-Deep cooling technology effectively reduces thermal noise.
-Supports multiple interfaces and software, with strong compatibility.
2、 局限性:
-Compared to some high-resolution cameras, its resolution is lower (800 × 600), which may not be suitable for applications that require high resolution.
-The relatively high price may limit the choices of some users.
3、 Application scenarios
1. Quantum physics: suitable for fields that require high sensitivity, such as cold atoms and fundamental research in quantum physics.
2. Super resolution imaging: Super resolution imaging techniques such as STORM can achieve high-precision localization of biomolecules.
3. Fluorescence detection: including single-molecule fluorescence detection, FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer), FCS (Fluorescence Related Spectroscopy), etc.
4. Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence: can detect weak signals such as bioluminescence and chemiluminescence.
The Aries 16 research grade camera, with its excellent sensitivity, low noise, and high dynamic range, has become a highly competitive imaging device in the field of scientific research, especially in cutting-edge areas such as quantum physics and super-resolution imaging.
