Hamamatsu Photonics introduces a new addition to their ORCA-Flash4.0 family, the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT Gen II scientific CMOS camera.

The ORCA-Flash4.0 LT makes it easy to be brilliant - delivering excellent image quality and high reliability. It delivers 2x the speed, 3x the field of view and up to 5x the signal-to-noise of even the best interline CCD cameras. The ORCA-Flash4.0 LT brings research-grade performance to every imaging project, from bright field to fluorescence, from live cell to fixed tissue and from routine to ground-breaking. It is designed to be an ideal workhorse digital camera and a cost-effective solution for all routine imaging applications.

The combination of high quantum efficiency and low noise allows the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT to produce images of superb quality. It has a larger field of view, compared to commonly-used interline CCDs, which is ideally suited to modern research microscopes. The superb frame rate, at full resolution, enables high-speed image acquisition with a wide field of view.

The ORCA-Flash4.0 LT delivers the high performance of sCMOS technology, at the price of a scientific CCD.

Light MicroscopyLight microscopes or optical microscopes are used to visualize microscale objects under magnification, including cells, clinical specimens and materials. Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples. Find the best light microscopes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Live Cell ImagingLive cell imaging is the study of living cells using microscopes and high-content imaging systems. This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.
