ORCA Lightning-2

Inspiration does not obey speed limits. For imaging scientists, inspiration is often found at the edges—at the spatial, temporal, and optical boundaries of a system. It’s that grainy image of the cytoskeleton that has just enough photons to confidently resolve two unique molecules. It’s data extracted from a few pixels, whittled away from a larger array, to achieve capture rates relevant to neuronal signaling. It’s the mesmerizing cellular migrations of a developing embryo, reconstructed from a lightsheet time-lapse, that offer new insights and spark new questions. By more than doubling speed,...

The ORCA-Lightning is big without requiring big trade-offs. This 12MP camera can deliver a 4 mm longitudinal field of view with 1 μm resolution and still offer speed, low noise and attention to the details that keep data quantitative. Capturing more data per image can have big advantages: fewer images per sample, less stitching and stage movement, more pixels for statistical methods and for methods that optically divide the sensor. Although the speed of the ORCA-Lightning is it’s headline feature, just having lots of high performance pixels might be the perfect tool for your next innovati
