Digital CMOS camera C11440-22CU

A game changer from inception and a proven performer since its initial release, the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 offers unrivaled flexibility across a wide range of imaging applications. Easily change from USB to Camera Link connectivity. Switch from a blazing fast scan to a virtually noiseless slow scan by a simple click in software. Use its Lightsheet Readout Mode™ for seamless integration with light sheet microscopy systems. Robust triggering allows the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 to drive other devices or be driven by them. And then there’s the highest QE of any sCMOS camera on the market.
