Teledyne Photometrics Kinetix
Large-sensor BI-CMOS with high sensitivity and speed for the most demanding and advanced applications.
Teledyne Photometrics is a world-leading manufacturer of scientific CMOS, CCD and EMCCD cameras that support demanding, quantitative research.
Photometrics’ latest cameras are part of the groundbreaking Kinetix family.
They feature very large sensors, sub-electron level noise and can reach higher framerates at full resolution than any other sCMOS camera on the market.
With their large field of view and high sensitivity, Kinetix cameras are ideal for any application where there is a need to minimize phototoxicity and achieve high framerates, such as microscopy of dynamic events in living cells.
High sensitivity and resolution for all types of applications
The family includes both Kinetix and Kinetix22.
Both cameras are equipped with the latest generation BI (back-illuminated) CMOS sensors with very high sensitivity (QE almost 96%).
The pixel size is 6.5 μm x 6.5 μm.
This pixel size provides very high resolution and is a good standard for most applications using 40x and 60x magnification. 
Sensor maximized to fit Nikon Ti2’s large field of view
The Kinetix 10 Mp sensor is square and has a diagonal of 29.4 mm.
To achieve this, an F-bayonet adapter is used.
This sensor provides a 2.4 times larger field of view than many other sCMOS cameras.
This means that you can see more of your specimen in each image, so fewer images are needed to get results.
The square sensor is designed to maximize the field of view achievable with microscopes designed to provide a large field of view, such as Nikon’s Eclipse Ti2 or Eclipse Ni research microscopes, where the maximum field of view out of the camera ports is 25 mm diagonally.
The Kinetix22’s 5.7 Mp sensor has a field of view of 22 mm diagonally and is well suited to any microscope that accepts a C-thread adapter.
How fast can a microscope camera capture processes?
The Kinetix cameras can reach extremely high speeds, up to ~ 500 frames per second (fps) in full resolution in so-called 8-bit mode.
If you are interested in a smaller area, you can increase to several thousand frames per second, which opens up to study events that occur on a timescale of a millisecond.
Combined with high QE and low noise, Kinetix is an ideal camera for studying, for example, signaling between neuronal cells.
