With decades of expertise in low-noise scientific camera design, Hamamatsu continues to advance imaging technology to capture fluorescence and luminescence signals. Our latest solutions support demanding applications across life sciences, physics, and advanced microscopy, delivering exceptional sensitivity, speed, and reliability.
At the forefront is the ORCA®-Fusion BT, the pinnacle of scientific CMOS performance. Combining ultra-low readout noise with high quantum efficiency, fast frame rates, and CCD-like image uniformity, the ORCA®-Fusion BT enables researchers to detect the faintest signals with clarity. This powerful combination allows you to generate high signal-to-noise images from minimal photons, capture fast temporal events, and confidently apply advanced computational imaging techniques. The ORCA®-Fusion BT simplifies complex experiments and opens the door to previously unachievable results.
Building on the innovation of the world’s first qCMOS camera, the ORCA®-Quest 2 takes low-light imaging even further. Featuring extremely low read noise of just 0.30 electrons rms and high-speed imaging at full resolution, it delivers outstanding image quality even in the most challenging conditions. Enhanced UV sensitivity, high-resolution imaging through an advanced back-illuminated sensor design, and unique photon number resolving capability makes the ORCA®-Quest 2 a versatile tool for cutting-edge applications, including quantum imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and bioluminescence studies. Particular in applications like Spinning Disk or TIRF microscopy, which are inherently background-rejecting technologies and where detecting weak signals with high precision is critical, the ORCA®‑Quest 2 stands out as a powerful upgrade. Its enhanced sensitivity and noise performance can deliver noticeably clearer data and greater experimental confidence in these demanding imaging modalities. If your work depends on pushing the limits of low‑signal detection, we encourage you to evaluate the ORCA‑Quest 2 in your own setup and experience the performance gains firsthand.
Completing the range, the ORCA®-Halo provides a reliable and accessible solution for high-quality imaging. Designed for both academic research and OEM integration, it combines excellent sensitivity and image quality with dependable performance, making it well suited to routine and low-light applications.
Together, these cameras demonstrate Hamamatsu’s commitment to enabling researchers to see more, measure more accurately, and achieve more through advanced imaging technology.
