Hi Aryeh, I think that you can get a good scientific camera for that much from Q Imaging. Thor Labs also has CCD cameras around this price point.
I inherited 4 astronomy cameras and was very disappointed with them and ended up just giving them away.

Best of luck,

I was asked if I can recommend a camera for fluorescence microscopy for
under $4k.
It is not single molecule, but if they can see it, they would like the
camera to see it.

I found a similar question on the list from 2014
https://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1403&L=confocalmicroscopy&P=R18770&1=confocalmicroscopy&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4

but this is a moving target, and my price constraint is higher, so I am
wondering what else is out there.

Are there any sCMOS  cameras that qualify? Does anyone have experience
with the less known brands (eg cameras geared toward amateur astronomy)?
I have a strong preference for cameras that will work with micro-manager.
I would appreciate finding out what solutions people on the list have found.

Thanks in advance
