Prime™ sCMOS Camera Datasheet
CMOS, EMCCD AND CCD CAMERAS FOR LIFE SCIENCES

4.2 Megapixel Scientific CMOS Camera
Photometrics Prime is the first intelligent scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera
to incorporate a powerful FPGA-based Embedded Signal Processing™
engine (ESP). ESP enables advanced real-time processing features:
t PrimeEnhance™ quantitatively increases the Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio by 3X-5X, increasing the clarity and quality of images.
t PrimeLocate™ dynamically evaluates acquired images and reduces the
surplus of data generated during high speed super resolution imaging.
Primary applications:

Designed using sCMOS sensor technology, Prime becomes an extremely
