sCMOS Camera for Single-Photon Imaging | SinceVision's New Solis B0555 PRO

SinceVision Solis B0555 PRO sCMOS Camera

SinceVision introduces the new Solis B0555 PRO sCMOS camera, designed for researchers and engineers working in ultra-low-light imaging, precision measurement, and high-speed scientific observation.

Built on a next-generation back-illuminated image sensor, the Solis B0555 PRO combines ultra-low readout noise, deep cooling, and high-speed imaging in one platform. It is developed for applications where faint signal detection and image stability are critical.

The camera is suitable for scientific research, microscopy, quantum optics, astronomy, fluorescence imaging, and semiconductor inspection.

1. Ultra-Low Readout Noise for Weak Signal Detection

One of the main advances of the Solis B0555 PRO is its 0.29e⁻ RMS readout noise in Ultra-Low Noise mode.

Compared with previous-generation systems, this significantly improves signal clarity under low-light conditions.

Key Benefits

• 0.29e⁻ RMS readout noise

• Approximately 74% lower readout noise than previous generation cameras

• Improved low-light signal-to-noise performance

• Better separation of weak optical signals from background noise

This helps researchers capture faint optical events more reliably during long exposure imaging or photon-limited experiments.

a. Deep Cooling for Long Exposure Imaging

Long-duration acquisition often increases dark current noise and image instability. The Solis B0555 PRO addresses this with a vacuum-sealed cooling structure and advanced packaging technology.

b. Cooling and Noise Specifications

• Cooling temperature difference up to 55°C

• Dark current as low as 0.002 e⁻/pixel/s at -30°C

• Full vacuum sealing process

• Leakage rate ≤10⁻⁹ Pa·m³/s

This design helps reduce moisture condensation and supports stable imaging during extended acquisition sessions.

2. Single-Photon Imaging Performance

Conventional sCMOS cameras often struggle to distinguish weak photon signals due to higher readout noise.

The Solis B0555 PRO reduces this limitation by improving signal consistency at the pixel level. This allows imaging performance close to single-photoelectron detection.

Unlike traditional EMCCD systems that rely on electron multiplication, the Solis B0555 PRO reduces excess noise while maintaining accurate signal measurement.

Suitable Imaging Tasks

• Single-particle imaging

• Single-molecule imaging

• Fluorescence spectroscopy

• Quantum optics experiments

• Super-resolution microscopy

3. 240 fps High-Speed Imaging with Global Shutter

The Solis B0555 PRO supports both global shutter and rolling shutter modes for different imaging conditions.

In global shutter mode, the camera reaches 240 fps full-frame imaging, supporting fast event recording and synchronized measurements.

High-Speed Imaging Features:

• Full-frame 240 fps

• Global shutter support

• Rolling shutter support

• Accurate moving target positioning

• Stable synchronization for measurement systems

This is useful for applications involving rapid optical or physical changes.

4. Flexible Data Transmission Interfaces

The Solis B0555 PRO includes both USB 3.1 and CoaXPress-over-Fiber interfaces.

Interface Options

• CXP-12 Over Fiber-4

• USB 3.1

• Up to 40 Gbps bandwidth

• Transmission distance over 100 meters

These interfaces support high-speed data transfer and long-distance deployment in research laboratories and industrial systems.
