Product catalog summary
Specifications Summary
The Neo 5.5 sCMOS camera features a 5.5 Megapixel sensor with dimensions of 2560 x 2160 pixels and a sensor size of 16.6 x 14.0 mm. It offers a pixel size of 6.5 µm and a pixel well depth of 30,000 e-. The camera supports a pixel readout rate of 560 MHz and 200 MHz, with a minimum read noise of 1 e-. It can achieve a maximum cooling of -40°C and a burst frame rate of 100 fps at full frame. The camera supports both Rolling and Global (Snapshot) shutter modes.

Features and Benefits
The Neo 5.5 sCMOS camera is equipped with TE cooling to -40°C, minimizing dark current and pixel blemish. It boasts a 1 e- read noise, providing a lower detection limit than any CCD. The 5.5 megapixel sensor format with 6.5 μm pixels ensures sharp resolution over a 22 mm field of view, ideal for cell microscopy and astronomy. The camera offers flexibility with Rolling and Global shutter modes and rapid frame rates, including sustained 30 fps and burst 100 fps full frame. It features dual-gain amplifiers for an extensive dynamic range of 30,000:1 at 30 fps, UltraVac™ for sustained sensor protection, and a 5-year warranty.

Advanced Performance Specifications
The camera provides a maximum dynamic range of 30,000:1 and better than 99% linearity. It supports hardware pixel binning and user-defined ROI with 1 pixel granularity. The system window type is UV-grade fused silica, and it includes a 4 GB internal memory buffer. The camera achieves maximum burst frame rates of 100 fps in Rolling Shutter and 49 fps in Global Shutter modes at full frame.

Software and Accessories
The Neo 5.5 requires software options such as Solis Imaging, Andor iQ, Andor SDK3, and GPU Express for data acquisition and processing. Accessories include a re-circulator for enhanced cooling, various lens mount adapters, and fiber-optic extender solutions.

Regulatory Compliance and Connectivity
The camera complies with EU EMC and LV Directives and features a 3-meter Camera Link 3-tap connector for camera control. It includes TTL/Logic connectors for external triggers and firmware updates via USB.

Operating Conditions
The camera operates between 0ºC to 40ºC ambient temperature with a relative humidity of less than 70%. It requires a power supply of 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, with a typical power consumption of 30 W.

Conclusion
The Neo 5.5 sCMOS camera is designed for high sensitivity, resolution, speed, dynamic range, and field-of-view, making it suitable for scientific imaging applications without compromise.
