Introducing the SciCam+ – A High-Performance sCMOS Camera Designed for Patch Clamp Electrophysiology and Fluorescence imaging

Scientifica are pleased to announce the release of the SciCam+, a high-resolution sCMOS camera specifically engineered to meet the demands of patch clamp electrophysiology. The SciCam+ is the next generation of the SciCam Pro, offering even greater performance for capturing critical experimental data and visualising cellular structures with precision.

With its fast frame rate, high sensitivity, and compact design, the SciCam+ is ideal for Infrared (IR) Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) imaging, fluorescence, live-cell, and calcium imaging. It provides high contrast and customisable settings, ensuring accurate data collection and smoother experimental workflows.

Why Choose the SciCam+ Camera?

• Precise Electrode Positioning: Real-time 40fps imaging ensures smooth pipette adjustments in delicate environments.
• Capture the Faintest Fluorescent Signals: With 2.2 e- of readout noise, the SciCam+ captures even tiny fluorescent signals, ensuring clear imaging of subtle cellular events in low-light conditions.
• See More at Once: The 18.8mm diagonal field of view allows for larger sample visualisation, reducing the need for repositioning.
• High-Resolution Imaging: View even the smallest cellular structures with exceptional clarity.
• High Sensitivity at Key Wavelengths: Optimised for visible and IR-DIC imaging, with excellent performance even in low-light conditions.
• Built for Patch Clamping: Fanless cooling prevents vibrations. A grounding port further reduces electrical noise for optimal signal clarity.

Thanks to integration with a range of intuitive software, including Mosaic, Micromanager, Labview, and MATLAB, researchers have complete control over their image and can customise the visualisation to suit their needs.
