C17440-20U

The ORCA®-Halo is a standard‑class camera equipped with a back‑illuminated sCMOS sensor. Despite its conventional design, it delivers high sensitivity and resolution, along with a wide field of view and low readout noise. This versatile camera is tailored for users who seek to effortlessly achieve high performance and seamlessly integrate it into their own systems.

Features

High quantum efficiency

By employing a back-illuminated sensor, we have achieved a high quantum efficiency of up to 86% (at peak). This helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).

 

Spectral Sensitivity Characteristics

Low readout noise

ORCA-Halo offers multiple settings that allow you to adjust the readout noise according to your sample.

High resolution and wide field of view

The ORCA-Halo features a sensor pixel size of 3.76 μm, one of the smallest pixel sizes available in our sCMOS cameras. Additionally, it offers a high resolution of 3000 × 3000 pixels, enabling the capture of sharp, detailed images.

 

Flexibility is achieved by combining with a relay mirror.

By combining ORCA-Halo with a reduced‑size relay lens, you can freely adjust the trade-off among resolution, field of view, and signal-to-noise ratio.
