Introducing the Marana sCMOS – the pinnacle of sensitivity and performance in back-illuminated sCMOS technology, specifically crafted for the demanding fields of astronomy and physical sciences. This state-of-the-art camera platform by Andor is engineered to provide unparalleled performance and adaptability, making it a standout choice for researchers and professionals who demand the best in imaging technology.

At the heart of the Marana sCMOS lies its impressive 4.2 Megapixel resolution, capable of delivering high-resolution arrays in under 50 milliseconds. This remarkable speed is achieved while maintaining exceptionally low read noise, setting it apart from traditional CCD detectors. Such capabilities make the Marana sCMOS ideal for applications requiring exposure times ranging from microseconds to several seconds, ensuring precise and reliable data capture in a variety of scientific explorations.

The Marana 4.2B-11 and the newly introduced Marana 4.2B-6 models boast an impressive quantum efficiency of up to 95%, coupled with Andor’s unique vacuum cooling technology that chills the sensor to -45°C. This combination significantly reduces noise, making it the most sensitive adaptation of back-illuminated sensor technology available. The vacuum-cooled environment, protected by Andor’s proprietary UltraVac™ technology, ensures the sensor remains free from QE degradation and moisture condensation, thus preserving its performance over time.

With a large field of view extending up to 32 mm and flexible pixel sensors of 11 µm and 6.5 µm, the Marana sCMOS is designed to cater to a wide range of scientific needs. Whether tracking space debris and near-Earth objects, conducting spectroscopy, or performing wavefront sensing, the Marana sCMOS delivers exceptional results with its high sensitivity and dynamic range. Its robust design and advanced features make it an indispensable tool for scientists seeking to push the boundaries of their research.
