The Andor CB2 is a high-resolution sCMOS camera that is characterized by its flexibility and performance.  With a sensor resolution of 24.5 megapixels, the CB2 is the highest-resolution Andor camera. The pixel size of 2.74 μm can be expanded to 5.48 μm by on-chip 2x2 binning. The 2x2 binning allows a dynamic range of 16 bit and takes place on the sensor without doubling the readout noise, as is the case with CMOS technology to date. This optical adaptability considerably expands the camera's application possibilities. 
In fluorescence microscopy, for example, the native pixel size is ideal for imaging large samples at low magnification. The pixels enlarged by binning offer greater sensitivity with high-resolution objectives. In astrophotography, the pixel flexibility enables adaptation to different telescopes and observation conditions.
The Andor CB2 supports both CoaXPress 2.0 and 10 GigE interfaces, which enable stable data transmission with low latency even over longer distances. It is equipped with a C-mount in the standard configuration, but can be fitted with a TFL mount for applications with larger optical apertures on request.
The camera combines high quantum efficiency (see illustration) with a high speed of up to 74 full frames per second and a global shutter. With a very low dark current of 0.0015 e/pixel/s and sensor cooling down to -20°C, the Andor CB2 is also suitable for long exposure applications. The ability to operate in low light conditions makes it an ideal choice for applications where minimal noise and high resolution are critical.
Right from the start, the Andor CB2 is compatible with the FLI Vision software and µManager. An SDK for C, C++, C#, Python, MatLab & LabVIEW is also available.
