Particle Imaging Velocimetry Mode for Neo and Zyla Cameras

2 Dec 2014

Particle Imaging Velocimetry is an optical method of flow visualization used in research and industry to obtain velocity measurements and related properties in fluids. This application note details how to integrate the Andor Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) family of cameras, Neo and Zyla, into a particle imaging velocimetry setup.

Neo 5.5 - sCMOS Camera

Oxford Instruments Andor

The Neo sCMOS Camera platform has been conceptualised and specifically engineered to harness the full performance potential of this new and exciting sensor technology. Unlike any CCD or CMOS camera to come before, Neo is unique in its ability to simultaneously offer ultra-low noise, extremely fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high resolution and a large field of view. Neo breaks new boundaries in offering an exceptionally low read noise of 1 e- rms without the need for signal amplification technology. 100 frames/s can be reached with full frame readout, faster with region of interest selection. In Neo, these speeds are uniquely coupled to a dynamic range capability of 30,000:1 with 16-bit digitization.
