KURO sCMOS
High Sensitivity
Using a back-illuminated sCMOS detector, the KURO is able to deliver ≥95% quantum efficiency with 100% fill factor matching that of the most sensitive CCD detectors available. With no masked pixel area, the KURO is able to recapture light regardless of the incident angle, ensuring maximum photon capture.
Reduced Fixed Pattern Noise
Latest sCMOS fabrication technology allows the KURO to provide a significantly better noise profile than any previous-generation, front-illuminated sCMOS camera.
High Speed, Low Noise
With an extremely low 1.3 e⁻ (RMS) read noise, the KURO is able to deliver high quality images with very low signal. Taking advantage of sCMOS architecture, the KURO 1200B delivers high frame rates of 82 fps (12 bits) or 41 fps (16 bits), with the KURO 2048B delivering 47 fps (12 bits) or 23 fps (16 bits)
