All our cameras are capable of recording activity in individual neurons and populations of neurons with outstanding spatio-temporal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. We offer three different types of cameras: The NeuroCCD-SM series for moderate and low light level measurements, the NeuroCMOS-SM series for recording at high light levels and the NeuroPDA-III , a photodiode array.

The CCD cameras have near ideal quantum efficiency (>80%) and very low dark noise. In particular, the NeuroCCD-SMQ, has very low noise and is very fast (>1Kfps). The CMOS cameras operate with relatively low read noise and very large well size. Couple of these are very fast (up to 10kfps). The NeuroPDA-III, is also fast (>1Kfps).

Choosing the optimal camera:

Many factors come into play when trying to choose the best camera for an application: Dynamic Range, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Dark Noise, Temporal Resolution (Frame Rate), Spatial Resolution and more.
