Photometrics Iris 9

Iris 9 Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera is designed to deliver extremely high resolution images for live cell imaging applications. Iris 9 delivers a 9 Megapixel sensor with a 17.8 mm field of view ensuring it can maximize amount of data in a single frame.

Resolution and Pixel Size
The small, 4.25 µm pixels provide highly detailed images across the imaging plane, which allows for the highest resolution when using lower magnification objectives.

sCMOS Sensitivity
The low noise and high quantum efficiency across a wide range of wavelengths produces higher quality images with lower exposure times than conventional CCD cameras.

Advanced Triggering
Programmable Scan Mode provides increased control over the rolling shutter exposure and read-out functionality of CMOS sensors by providing access to the sensor timing settings to allow optimization around applications that require control over the line time.

Superior Background Quality
The Iris 9 features Pattern Noise Reduction Technology and Correlated Noise Reduction Technology to ensure that it delivers clean, pattern-free images with minimal pixel defects, delivering improved image quality in low light conditions.

Photometrics Iris 15

The Iris 15 Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera provides a large field of view and the highest resolution with its 15 Megapixel design.

Large Field of View
The larger format 25 mm sensor of the Iris 15 is designed to increase throughput, maximize the amount of data captured and take full advantage of new, larger field of view microscopes.
