Introducing Marana-X The Most Sensitive Back-illuminated sCMOS Marana-X is Andor’s ground breaking sCMOS platform tailored to direct EUV and soft X-ray applications. Hand crafted to deliver market leading performance and versatility Marana-X reads out a 4.2 Megapixel high resolution array in less than 50 milliseconds while maintaining very low read noise; hundreds of times faster than similar resolution CCD detectors. Unparalleled Quantum Efficiency The new Marana-X sCMOS boasts superior quantum efficiency in the EUV-1 keV energy range compared to existing CCDs. The excellent quantum...

Features and Benefits From soft X-ray tomography to hyperspectral imaging the Marana-X combines the sensitivity, speed, resolution and field of view to take on the most demanding imaging or spectroscopic challenges. Feature Up to 99% QE & lowest noise 4.2 Megapixel The ONLY uncoated back-illuminated sCMOS Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) Mode > 99.7% linearity Fan and liquid cooling as standard Benefit•1 Maximum signal to noise for light starved measurements. Achieve high contrast faster. Very weak signals require lowest noise floor and longer exposures: Don’t be restricted by camera thermal...

Key Features Fast Sensor Readout Taking only 13.5 milliseconds per full frame readout, Marana-X can achieve a rapid 74 fps. Marana-X is ideal for the acquisition of large imaging data sets such as tomography and in-situ transient phenomena. Extended Dynamic Range Large pixel well-depth and an on-chip multi-amplifier design means the whole photometric range, from the noise floor up to the saturation limit, can be captured with one image. The wide dynamic range is complemented by enhanced on-head intelligence to deliver linearity > 99.7%, for unparalleled quantitative accuracy of measurement...

Application Focus Soft X-ray Water Window Tomography Soft X-ray microscopy in the water window (~285535 eV) enables the unique imaging of intact cellular samples in their near-native state to resolutions of only a few 10s of nm in detail. The excellent speed of the Marana-X combined with unparalleled quantum efficiency in the 285-535 eV energy range makes the Marana-X the ideal camera for water window tomography. This coupled with low read noise and lack of mechanical shutter enables Marana-X to collect high contrast data sets with minimal experimental downtime. Fogelqvist, E., Kördel, M.,...

Modes for Marana Multi-track Mode M h The array size may be defined for either resolution or maximum speed. Up to 256 vertically binned tracks can be used for multi-track analysis without sacrificing speed. Spectroscopy Mode Imaging Mode A vertically binned track is centred on the sensor enabling the maximum spectral rate to capture dynamic events. Multi-track Mode 4.2B-6 Vertically binned tracks (overlap ON) Track height (h) Imaging Mode 4.2B-6 Frame rate table Max Frame Rate (fps) ROI Size (W x H)
