The camera was the first and is the only in the industry to offer 95 percent QE by leveraging BSI technology, combined with large pixels and low-noise characteristics to maximize light collection. Photometrics expanded on these capabilities by incorporating an FPGA-based Embedded Signal Processing engine, ESP™ from its Prime CMOS camera platform, that enables powerful signal restoration for low-light imaging and feature detection for localization based Super-Resolution Microscopy.
The additional award-winning features include:
"We initially released the Prime 95B with near perfect 95% Quantum Efficiency," said Rachit Mohindra, product manager at Photometrics. "However more and more customers wanted access to our on-camera computational features as well. We're pleased to deliver and provide them the ability to accomplish more with one camera."
Prime 95B captures images using the full microscope field-of-view at over 41 frames per second (FPS) with 16-bit images and 82fps with 12-bit images over a USB 3.0 interface. The combination of extreme sensitivity, low noise, high frame rates and new ability to actively defeat the negative impact of Poisson noise in low light images positions Prime 95B as the leading Scientific CMOS camera for low-light microscopy techniques, including single molecule fluorescence (SMF), confocal imaging and super-resolution microscopy (STORM, PALM.)
