Offering 95% quantum efficiency and market-leading vacuum cooling down to -45°C (-49°F), Sona scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras from Andor are designed for fluorescence microscopy applications. The cameras are available in two models, the first of which is the Sona 4.2B-11, which features a 2048 x 2048 GSENSE 400 back-illuminated sCMOS image sensor with an 11 µm pixel size from GPixel, Inc. Additionally, the Sona 2.0B-11 features a 2 MPixel array that is ideally sized to maximize the field of view available through modern 2mm C-Mount microscope ports, according to Andor.

Both cameras feature Andor’s UltraVac vacuum-cooling approach, USB 3.0 interface, 48 fps frame rate (Sona 4.2B-11), 70 fps frame rate (Sona 2.0B-11), and adaptable 60x and 40x objectives.
