Kepler KL6060 BI CMOS Camera: 6K x 6K with 10 micron pixels

Also Available with 90mm Shutter

Absolute Quantum Efficiency

See the Kepler page for details and alternate configurations.

The KL6060 BI scientific CMOS camera has the same sensitivity and imaging area as the back-illuminated CCD230-84 CCD, but with a fraction of the noise even at multiple frames per second. Kepler cooled sCMOS cameras provide ultra-high sensitivity, ultra-low noise, and high frame rates, all at game-changing price to performance ratio.
