QImaging OptiMOS Camera

Scientific CMOS Optimized for Microscopy – Featuring faster frame rates and lower noise, QImaging optiMOS was designed as the budget friendly alternative that avoids complex data management in the PC. Capable of streaming 100 fps with a 45% larger FOV and <2e- of read noise, optiMOS delivers 10x the time resolution of CCD cameras without trading off on resolution or sensitivity.

As life science research delves deeper into investigating cellular dynamics, mechanisms and electrochemical signaling, the need
for resolving high speed, low light events continues to increase.

Since the inception of digital microscopy, scientific grade CCD cameras have been the gold standard for fluorescence imaging due to their sensitivity and low noise characteristics. However, many cell mechanisms occur on very short time scales and emit low luminescence signals when fluorescently labeled. To sufficiently document these cellular interactions, the imaging device used must be provide adequate temporal and spatial resolution while maintaining a good signal to noise ratio. Due to the inherent architecture of CCDs, achieving high frame rates in combination with low noise and high resolution is simply outside the realm of their intended use.

optiMOS from QImaging is the live cell replacement to CCD cameras. Featuring faster frame rates and lower noise, optiMOS was designed as the budget friendly alternative that avoids complex data management in the PC. Capable of streaming 100fps with a 45% larger FOV and <2e- of read noise, optiMOS delivers 10x the time resolution of CCD cameras without trading off on resolution or sensitivity.

Offered as the affordable sCMOS solution, optiMOS brings the advantages of low noise and high speed imaging to a broader range of cell biology application
