Scientific Imaging

Extremely low read noise and high quantum efficiency expand the bounds of scientific imaging.

Fairchild Imaging’s sCMOS 3.1 sensors define new capabilities in image performance. With read noise so low that cameras can count photons, to high frame rate performance in 4K, these sensors have supported Nobel Prize winning research.
