Teledyne Photometrics Introduces the Retiga XL60, a 60-Megapixel Camera for Large-Field-of-View Life Science Imaging

Tucson, Arizona, USA – November 12, 2026: Teledyne Photometrics, a leader in scientific imaging solutions, today announced Retiga™ XL60, a new large-field-of-view scientific camera designed to address the evolving imaging requirements of life science researchers.

Built around a 60-megapixel Sony® CMOS sensor, Retiga XL60 combines a large imaging area with high dynamic range and low-noise performance to support applications where researchers need to capture more information across a larger field of view.

The Retiga XL60 camera is designed with spatial omics, cleared tissue, light-sheet imaging and high-content microscopy among its key target applications. The platform provides an extremely large imaging area, high pixel density, global reset and rolling-shutter modes, and shutter synchronization controls for confocal imaging techniques.

The camera is available with multiple field-of-view options to accommodate different microscope configurations and application requirements, including 43 mm full-sensor operation and a 22 mm model. Models with additional fields of view are under development and will be available in 2027.

“The Retiga XL60 maximizes how much of a sample that researchers can image in a single frame and implements the cutting-edge interface necessary to provide this data with fast frame rates to achieve the desired throughput. It removes the trade-offs between low-light imaging and background-limited imaging by having both extremely low noise and the ability to capture large amounts of light,” said Rachit Mohindra, Technical Product Lead for Life Sciences.

Retiga XL60 builds on Teledyne Photometrics’ long history of developing scientific cameras for quantitative life science imaging. The new platform is intended to give researchers greater flexibility as emerging microscopy techniques generate larger and increasingly information-rich datasets.

Find out more about the new Retiga XL60 scientific camera at Neuroscience 2026 (November 15-18) in Booth 1708. Visitors can learn how its large-field-of-view architecture is being developed to address emerging requirements in spatial omics, cleared tissue, light-sheet imaging, high-content microscopy, and other advanced life science applications.
