Prime 95B
The Prime 95B was the first back-illuminated sCMOS camera, and offers extreme sensitivity thanks to 95% QE, large pixels and low noise. The Prime 95B also operates at high frame rates across a large sensor, consistently outperforming EMCCD cameras.
Sensitivity
The Prime 95B back-illuminated sCMOS camera achieves a near-perfect 95% quantum efficiency.
By bringing the light in from the back of the sensor, photons land directly onto the light receiving surface, maximizing light collecting capability. Combining this with large, 11 µm pixels results in a camera technology as sensitive as EMCCD with greater stability, faster speeds and no gain aging.
Superior Background Quality
The Prime 95B features Pattern Noise Reduction Technology and Correlated Noise Reduction Technology to ensure that it delivers clean, pattern-free images with minimal pixel defects, delivering improved image quality in low light conditions.
Multiple Fields of View
The Prime 95B is available with an 18.8, 22 or 25 mm diagonal field of view. The larger format sensors are designed to increase throughput, maximize the amount of data captured and take full advantage of new, larger field of view microscopes.
Advanced Features
The Prime 95B offers two data reduction technologies; PrimeLocate and Multi-ROI.
PrimeLocate can also be extended to offer Live Particle Tracking on the camera, giving early insight into the kinetics of moving molecules for single molecule tracking applications.
PrimeEnhance active denoising provides a real-time quantitative increase in signal to noise ratio by reducing the effects of photon shot noise at low light levels.
Advanced Triggering
Sequenced Multiple Acquisition Real Time (SMART) Streaming enables the Prime 95B to capture a continuous sequence of images while cycling through 16 pre-programmed exposure time values, delivering the fastest multi-channel acquisition times.
The Prime 95B also supports up to four expose-out signals and has the capability for an effective global shutter.
