Iris
The Iris Family of sCMOS cameras are designed to provide high resolution imaging even at low magnifications, across up to 25 mm fields of view. Small 4.25 µm pixels across a large array allow for the capture of highly detailed images across a wide area, resulting in a high-throughput solution without sacrificing image quality. Ideal for light-sheet microscopy, or when needing to image large samples at high resolutions.
High Resolution
The small, 4.25 µm pixels provide highly detailed images across the imaging plane, which allows for the highest resolution when using lower magnification objectives.
Large Field of View
The larger format 25 mm sensor of the Iris 15 is designed to increase throughput, maximize the amount of data captured and take full advantage of new, larger field of view microscopes.
Compact Form Factor
The Iris 9 (76 x 76 x 88 mm) and Iris 15 (78 x 78 x 108 mm) cameras feature optimized cooling for the size, ideal for integration into new or existing configurations.
Advanced Triggering
Programmable Scan Mode provides increased control over the rolling shutter exposure and read-out functionality of CMOS sensors by providing access to the sensor timing settings to allow optimization around applications that require control over the line time.
Superior Background Quality
The Iris Family feature Pattern Noise Reduction Technology and Correlated Noise Reduction Technology to ensure that they deliver clean, pattern-free images with minimal pixel defects, delivering improved image quality in low light conditions.
