Key Specifications
Overview
The Aries 6504 camera has been designed to harness the latest in sensor technology from our partner Gpixel and will utilize their new GSENSE6504BSI sensor the replacement for the long service GSENSE2020BSI . The camera offers a 2048 x 2048 array of 6.5 micron back-illuminated pixels with a peak QE of 95%, speeds of up to 300 fps and ultra-low read noise.
300 fps in full resolution
The Aries has several readout modes, but the Speed mode delivers 300 fps at full 2048 x 2048 resolution with noise at the mode at just over an electron. The camera is also capable pf running at 100fps in HDR mode which offers 1 electron of read noise and 170fps in single full well mode. The camera allows customers to pick between a simple USB 3.2, Gen2x2 or CXP2.0x2.
Low Noise
The Standard Aries 6504 has a staggering read noise of less than 1electron, but the Aries 6504 Pro goes one further offering <0.5 electrons. The low read noise specification opens the door to many new applications limited by read noise allowing true EMCCD like detection capabilities, enabling scientists to detect more enabling applications that require single photon detection like quantum imaging.
Low Dark Current
In addition to 3x lower read noise, the new generation technology offers a 17x improvement in dark current performance. GSENSE6504BSI has a measured dark current of 0.004 electrons/pixel/second at -30℃(die temperature) compared to 0.07 electrons/pixel/second for the same pixel size in GSENSE2020BSI. This will undoubtedly expand the application range of sCMOS cameras in ultra-low-light, long-exposure scenarios, such as in vivo imaging of small animals and astronomical imaging.
