qCMOS Camera C15550-20UP / C15550-20UP01 Instruction manual_Ver.1.3

4. OVERVIEW

The qCMOS camera (C15550-20UP / C15550-20UP01) utilizes a custom image sensor (quantitative

CMOS image sensor: qCMOS) using the latest CMOS design technologies and ultra-small

semiconductor technologies and realizes extremely low readout noise (0.27 electrons (r.m.s)).

Therefore, photon number resolving is realized within each pixel, enabling superior low light

performance and quantitativeness. In addition, the qCMOS camera provides higher speed, lower

noise, higher pixelcounts and a better resolution than Gen III sCMOS cameras. Therefore, the

qCMOS camera suitable for various applications not only life science microscopy but also physics

application like quantum technologies, Astronomy and spectroscopies.

* For more detail information of the qCMOS image sensor and the photon number resolving, refer

to the white paper (qCMOS: Quantitative CMOS technologies by Photon Number Resolving)

5. FEATURES

(1) Readout noise

The qCMOS camera adopts the qCMOS image sensor using the latest CMOS design technologies

and ultra-small semiconductor technologies and realizes extremely low readout noise (0.27

electrons (r.m.s)).

(2) Photon number resolving capability

Photon number resolving is realized within each pixel, enabling superior low light performance and

quantitativeness. The camera has a special mode called “Photon number resolving mode”. It can

output the digital data as photon number (one digital number per one photoelectron) by quantifying

the output digital data from AD converter to photon number with real time image processing.

(3) Pixel number and pixel size

The qCMOS image sensor has 9.4 megapixels. the pixel number is about 1.78 times that of the

conventional scientific CMOS image sensor. The pixel size is 4.6 µm × 4.6 µm for high resolution

imaging and is smaller than that of the conventional scientific CMOS camera (6.5 µm × 6.5 µm).

(4) Quantum efficiency

The adoption of the back side illuminated and deep trench isolation technologies between pixels

improves the quantum efficiency over a wide wavelength range from blue to near-infrared with

minimum crosstalk achieving a high quantum efficiency of 90 % and 33 % at 475 nm and 900 nm

wavelength, respectively.

(5) Readout methods

The camera has a variety of readout modes. In addition to full resolution readout mode (1×1), sub-

array readout and binning readout (2×2, 4×4) are supported.
