Hello everyone,

I'd like to purchase Andor Zyla 4.2 or Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash4.0 V2, both
using camera link interface and sharing same Sony chip. The seem to be pretty
good for brightfield and good for WF fluorescence and TIRF. Could you please
tell me your local prices for them, via mailing list or e-mail? Russian prices
seem to be awful, I'd like to know if they want either me to overpay, or to just
to rob me.

Thanks in advance,
Sergey

Hi Sergey,

in case you did not know, there is also the pco.edge 4.2 using the same image sensor, made by BAE Fairchild and not by Sony. Scientific CMOS image sensors were originally developed by Fairchild, Andor and PCO as a combined effort. The result was the CIS2521 image sensor, which is in the Andor Neo, Zyla 5.5, pco.edge 5.5 and pco.edge gold 5.5. A bit later a only rolling shutter version with better QE was released as a collaboration between Fairchild and Hamamatsu, the CIS2020 was created. All of these image sensors are available.



with best regards,

Gerhard Holst

Dear Mr.Holst,

It seems I was mistold on workshop. Could you please clear the point on
sensors?

1. for Andor Zyla 4.2 I didn't find the sensor name, just "Gen II Front illumitaed
sCMOS, 4T" in datasheet. Dimensions: 2048 x 2048 px, 13.3 x 13.3 mm 18.8
mm diagonal, 6.5*6.5 mkm pixel. The camera supports global shutter emulation.

2. Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 C11440-22CU datasheet says: Imaging device
- sCMOS sensor FL-400 (Gen II sensor, 4T). 2048 x 2048 px, 13.312 x 13.312
mm, 6.5*6.5 mkm pixel. Seems to have no global shutter emulation. They spend
so many words saying that rolling shutter is OK that I can't fully trust them)
https://www.hamamatsu.com/resources/pdf/sys/SCAS0095E01_Global.pdf

3. pco.edge 4.2 - sensor CIS2020. Dimensions: 2048 x 2048 px, 13.3 x 13.3 mm
18.8 mm diagonal, 6.5*6.5 mkm pixel. Rolling shutter only.

CIS2020 chip itself has 4T, 6.5*6.5mkm pixel architcture, "Datasheets will be
available upon request"

Are they the same one? Their sensivity curves differ a bit. Is that marketing or
technology thing, or the curves are just obtained at different cooling?

Best,
Sergey
